Lawn Care Pricing Calculator
Per-visit, monthly, and seasonal mowing-quote calculator. Operator mode covers labor, travel, materials, overhead, and margin; homeowner mode gives a quick estimate band.
How this is calculated
Operator-mode pricing builds the per-visit price from labor, travel, materials, and overhead, then applies a margin on price (the industry-standard accounting convention).
labor = crew × (rate / 60) × minutes
travel = (rate / 60) × travelMinutes
subtotal = labor + travel + materials
overhead = subtotal × overheadPct
costBase = subtotal + overhead
price = costBase / (1 − targetMarginPct)
price = max(price, minimumCharge)Frequency multipliers (weekly 1.0, biweekly 1.20, monthly 1.65, one-time 1.30) match research midpoints (LawnStarter, HouseCallPro). Auto-suggested minutes per visit come from lawn-size brackets — you can override every number.
Homeowner mode bypasses the time-based model and returns a per-visit estimate from typical-rate brackets (¼ ac ≈ $50, ½ ac ≈ $65, 1 ac ≈ $145) plus a ±20% range band.
