Free quote calculator for UK trades.
Labour, materials, markup, VAT, and a client-ready total in one pass.
Use the calculator without signing up. Enter labour, materials, other costs, markup, and VAT to get a quick quote total, then use email only if you want the downloadable CSV.
What this page helps you decide.
A construction quote calculator should start with real job costs, add markup before VAT, show the client total clearly, and leave room for waste, hire, access, and other small costs that often get missed.
Source note: The calculator is a practical quoting aid, not a fixed rate book. Use current supplier prices, labour rates, VAT treatment, measurements, and site-specific allowances before sending a client quote.

Want the working file?
Enter your email, then download the CSV. The result stays visible above.
No signup needed for the result. Email only unlocks the working CSV.
Start with real costs
Labour hours, hourly rate, materials, waste, hire, access, and other allowances are separated before markup is added.
Show VAT clearly
The calculator keeps quote price, VAT, and client total visible so profit is not hidden inside the tax line.
Move beyond the first number
QuoteBuild turns the quote into a saved job with templates, quote packs, staged payments, client links, and margin tracking after acceptance.

Step 1

Step 3

Quick answers.
Is the construction quote calculator free?
Yes. You can use the calculator on the page without signing up. Email is only needed if you want the downloadable CSV.
Can I send the result straight to a client?
You can print or save the preview, but it is still a quick calculator. Use QuoteBuild when you need a saved quote pack, client link, payment stages, and live margin tracking.
What numbers should I enter first?
Start with labour hours, labour rate, materials, waste, hire, access, and other direct costs. Then add markup and VAT so the final total is not hiding a weak margin.
Does the calculator replace a full quote?
No. It gives you a fast sense-check. A full quote still needs scope, exclusions, payment terms, quote validity, and a clear record of what the client is accepting.
Who is this calculator for?
It is for UK builders and trade businesses checking a real job before they create a saved estimate or client quote.
