Price a mowing job from your own numbers: lawn size, condition, obstacles, how often you mow, bagging, equipment and the drive. See the real hourly pay, then copy a quote or send a share link.

The starter numbers are examples so you can see how it works, not market rates. For published national rates, see how much to charge for lawn mowing.

How this calculator works

Work minutes = setup + mowing (sq ft ÷ 1,000 × your minutes, adjusted for condition and obstacles) + trimming/edging/blowing + bagging + extra work.
Price = work minutes ÷ 60 × your target rate + equipment + the trip + disposal, then the frequency adjustment, rounded up and never below your minimum job price.
Real $/hour = price minus equipment, gas and disposal, divided by all crew hours including the drive.
