PWS Welding Job Pricing Calculator

Stop guessing your prices.

The PWS Welding Job Pricing Calculator is a practical internal costing tool built for welders, fabricators, and shop owners who want consistent, defensible pricing on every job.

This calculator helps you calculate welding labor cost, materials, overhead, and adjustments so you protect profit before the job starts.

What This Calculator Does

This is not a client-facing quote generator.

This is an internal fabrication cost estimator designed to help you:

• Break welding jobs into real, billable tasks

• Calculate total labor hours (min / max)

• Apply your shop rate consistently

• Add markup, express work, buffer, and tax

• See a clear price range before committing

You know your trade. This tool helps you price it correctly.

Problems This Solves

Most welding jobs are underpriced because:

• Time is underestimated

• “Small tasks” are ignored

• Shop rate isn’t applied consistently

• Pricing is based on memory, not structure

Those mistakes don’t show up on one job.
They show up over months and years.

This calculator fixes that.

How It Works

1. Enter time estimates for each fabrication task

2. Review total labor hours (min / max)

3. Apply your shop / onsite hourly rate

4. Add materials, consumables, and overhead

5. Apply markup, express %, buffer, and tax

6. Get a clear total price range

No spreadsheets. No guesswork.
