TradeCalcs builds cost calculators and website widgets for contractors, remodelers, and real estate professionals. Our tools help homeowners estimate project costs while generating qualified leads for service providers.
Every calculator uses 2026 pricing data compiled from thousands of completed projects across the United States. Homeowners get realistic budget estimates. Contractors get qualified leads from visitors who are actively planning projects.
Embed our calculators on your website with a single line of code. Each calculator includes built-in lead capture — when a visitor estimates their project cost, you get their contact info and project details. No monthly fees. One-time purchase.
TradeCalcs pricing data comes from real project experience and industry data, not guesswork. Our calculators are built and maintained by experienced trade professionals.
TradeCalcs is a construction cost calculator platform built by working contractors for working contractors. We saw a gap in the market: generic online calculators that used national averages and ignored the real costs contractors face in California — permits, coastal premiums, labor shortages, and material price volatility.
TradeCalcs was born from a licensed San Diego general contractor (CSLB #1054602) who needed accurate, local cost estimation tools for client proposals. After years of using spreadsheets and generic online calculators that consistently underpriced projects, we built our own calculators using real project data from completed jobs across San Diego County.
We provide construction cost calculators, embeddable website widgets, and contractor tools that help you price projects accurately, win more bids, and convert more website visitors into clients. Our calculators use current San Diego material costs, local labor rates, and real permit fee data.
Our calculator pricing is sourced from actual completed projects, current supplier quotes, and licensed contractor labor rates in San Diego County. We update our pricing data quarterly to reflect material cost changes and labor market conditions.
Our calculators are calibrated using San Diego County material costs, labor rates, and permit fees. If you are outside San Diego County, the calculators still provide a useful baseline — just adjust material and labor costs for your local market.
We update our material and labor pricing quarterly. Material costs can fluctuate significantly due to supply chain issues, tariffs, and seasonal demand. Our quarterly updates keep estimates current.
Yes, the Pro and Business plans allow custom pricing inputs. You can enter your own material costs, labor rates, and overhead multipliers to match your specific business model.
