ABOUT THESE TOOLS
Every trade leans on the same core field math: how many square feet, how many cubic yards, whether the corner is square, and what the work has to sell for. These calculators cover that shared layer — the combined construction calculator handles concrete volume, aggregate tonnage, and unit conversions in one place; the square footage and right-angle (3-4-5) tools handle layout and takeoff geometry; and the slope tool converts between percent grade, ratio, degrees, and rise over run for ramps, drainage, and site work.
The business-side tools matter just as much as the geometry. Markup and margin are not the same number, and pricing work with the wrong one silently gives away profit — the markup calculator flips between the two and back-solves the price for a target margin. The labor estimator builds a true burdened crew cost from wages, payroll burden, and crew mix, and the fuel calculator turns machine run hours into a daily operating cost. Together they cover the estimating math that shows up on every job, whatever the trade. Free, in the browser, no account required.
