Welding Job Pricing Calculator

Stop Guessing What to Charge — Before You Quote

If you can weld but hesitate when a customer asks, “How much?”, this tool was built for that moment.

Pricing independent welding jobs is harder than the welding itself.
Not because you lack skill — but because you carry the risk.

The Welding Job Pricing Calculator helps you decide:

  • When to charge hourly

  • When to quote a job price

  • How to factor time uncertainty and responsibility

Before you commit to a number.

Why Pricing Feels Harder Than Welding

When you worked in a shop:

  • You welded

  • Someone else priced the job

  • You got paid regardless of overruns

When you work independently:

  • You quote the job

  • You absorb mistakes

  • You eat unpaid time

Most welders underprice not because they’re cheap,
but because they’re optimistic under pressure.

This tool helps remove that pressure.

What This Calculator Actually Does

This is not a generic math calculator.

It helps you:

  • Compare hourly vs job pricing

  • Use a time range, not a guess

  • Adjust pricing based on job type, risk, and experience

  • See what the job actually pays you

It doesn’t force a price.
It shows you the trade-offs before you decide.
