How this calculator works

Task minutes = estimated hours × 60 × difficulty × (1 + buffer for surprises).
Work minutes = setup and cleanup + task + supply run + extra work.
Price = (work minutes ÷ 60 × your target rate + consumables + materials with markup + the trip + disposal) × (1 + evening/weekend or same-day surcharge), rounded up and never below your minimum job price.
Real $/hour = price minus materials at cost, consumables, disposal and gas, divided by all crew hours including the drive.
