How is an estimate calculator different from a cost calculator?
They run the same math. This page frames the tool around producing one project's full estimate — true cost plus the required selling price — rather than just a cost check.
Can I calculate more than one project at a time?
The free version calculates one project. Landscape Estimate Pro saves unlimited projects and estimates, plus reusable service assemblies so you don't re-enter the same materials and labor every time.
Does it factor in my production rates?
This free calculator takes a total labor cost you've already worked out. Pro adds production-rate labor calculation — enter a quantity (e.g. 8 yd³ of mulch) and your own production rate (e.g. 2.5 yd³ per person-hour), and it calculates person-hours and labor cost for you.
What's the difference between required price and display price?
The required selling price is calculated to the cent. The display price rounds that up or down to a clean whole-dollar number for the customer-facing quote — both are shown so you can see exactly how the rounding works.
