Labour. Total labour hours = job time × number of valeters. Labour cost = total labour hours × your hourly rate.
Base cost. Labour plus products/materials, travel, parking, and any other direct costs.
Suggested quote. Base cost plus your chosen markup. Markup is a percentage added on top of base cost — it is not the same as margin, which is a percentage of the final price.
Vehicle size does not change the price on its own. If a larger vehicle takes longer or needs more product, you enter that extra time or cost yourself. We do not invent vehicle-size multipliers or market averages.
This is a planning and quoting aid. Use your own costs and rates, and adjust the result to fit the job and your business.

Common questions about the car valeting job quote calculator
How is the car valeting quote calculated?
Total labour hours is your elapsed job time multiplied by the number of valeters. That is multiplied by your hourly rate, then products, travel, parking, and other direct costs are added to make the base cost. Your chosen markup is then added on top.
Does vehicle size change the price?
Not automatically. The calculator has no vehicle-size multipliers. If a larger vehicle takes longer or needs more product, you enter that extra time or cost yourself.
Is the markup the same as margin?
No. Markup is a percentage added on top of your base cost. Margin is a percentage of the final price and is calculated differently. The calculator clearly labels its markup step to avoid confusion.
Do I need an account to use the calculator?
No. The calculator works without signup, email, or payment details. You can use it on your phone and print or save the result as a PDF.
