← Egress Window Bid Calculator
This calculator vs. Jobber
Two different shapes: Jobber is account-based field-service software for running a home-service business's clients, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payments. This page is a free, private worksheet for one question — what should this egress-window job cost, given its opening type and cut, before you quote it.
What each tool is for
Jobber is field-service management software founded in 2011 and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, used by home-service businesses across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, lawn care, and cleaning trades. It combines client management, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payment collection into one subscription system meant to run a whole business across every job and every crew, and it says it serves over 200,000 users. It is sold as an ongoing subscription account. Jobber's own pricing page is not reachable from this session to confirm today's exact plan names or dollar figures, so no price for it is invented here: only its well-documented identity and category — home-service field-service management software, sold as a subscription account — are stated, and no dollar amount for Jobber appears on this page.
This calculator does none of what Jobber does. It does not manage clients, schedule crews, send invoices, or collect payments, and it stores no customer record on a server. It takes one egress-window job — window count, opening type (hopper, slider, casement, fiberglass), whether the opening is a retrofit into an existing hole or a wood, masonry, or poured-concrete cut, well material, extras, who supplies the sash and well, and whether the crew works a weekday, an occupied-basement day, or a Saturday or after-hours call — and turns that into the extra-work share and the walk-away price below which the job loses money, before any of it touches a client or scheduling system. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type.
| Question | Where to answer it |
|---|---|
| I run a foundation, basement, or exterior-renovation business and need clients, quoting, scheduling, and invoicing in one system across every job. | Jobber, or a comparable field-service platform — running a whole business is not something this calculator does. |
| What should I charge for this egress-window job, given its opening type and cut? | This calculator — free, instant, private, no account. |
| How much does a poured-wall cut with a stone well actually add over a retrofit-and-plastic-well special? | This calculator's opening-type and cut line items, not a flat installed price. |
| Is the price I'm about to quote still above my walk-away cost for this job? | This calculator's walk-away price against the flat just-set special. |
| I need one shared account so my whole crew is quoting, scheduling, and invoicing the same way. | Jobber, or a comparable field-service platform. |
| How does the math behind an egress-window bid actually work? | This calculator's own pricing walkthrough. |
| Do I need to create an account or sign up to use the tool? | This calculator: no. Jobber is used through a subscription account. |
Most foundation and basement contractors get different value from each: Jobber (or a comparable field-service platform) for client management, quoting, scheduling, and invoicing across a whole business as an ongoing subscription, and a private calculator like this one for an instant, no-login answer to what one egress-window job should cost from its opening type and cut before a business system is involved. This page's own figures are a pricing model, not a client record, a schedule, or a signed proposal.
This tool needs no account and no sign-in: it is a static page, the arithmetic runs in your browser, and once it has loaded it keeps working with the connection off.
Common questions
Should I use this calculator or Jobber?
They do different jobs, and a foundation or basement contractor running a real crew will likely end up touching both eventually. Jobber is field-service management software founded in 2011 and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, used by home-service businesses across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, lawn care, and cleaning trades. It combines client management, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payment collection into one subscription system meant to run a whole business across every job and every crew, and it says it serves over 200,000 users. It is sold as an ongoing subscription account. Jobber's own pricing page is not reachable from this session to confirm today's exact plan names or dollar figures, so no price for it is invented here: only its well-documented identity and category — home-service field-service management software, sold as a subscription account — are stated, and no dollar amount for Jobber appears on this page. This calculator does one narrower thing: starting from window count, opening type, cut type, well material, extras, sash/well supplier, and schedule, it turns that into the extra-work share and the walk-away price below which the job loses money, before any of it touches a client or scheduling system. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type. A contractor who already manages clients, quoting, scheduling, and invoicing across every job and every trade on the crew is better served by Jobber or a comparable field-service platform; a contractor who wants an instant, private answer to what one egress-window job should cost from its opening type and cut before opening a business system is in the right place here.
