Paint cost calculator
Room dimensions in; labour hours, gallons and a cost range out. It uses production rates rather than a flat dollars-per-square-foot number, which is how estimators actually price. Nothing is sent anywhere — the arithmetic runs in your browser.

Labour plus materials at retail — your cost, not your price. What you charge is this plus your margin, and that margin is what pays for the truck, the insurance, and the hours you spend estimating. Openings are approximated as one door and two windows.

A real estimate walks the whole house, prices each surface against your own crew's production rates, and shows the customer what it will look like when it is finished. That is the part that gets it signed.
