← Asphalt Sealcoat Bid Calculator
This calculator vs. Bitumio
Two different shapes: Bitumio is a subscription platform for running a paving company's estimating, scheduling, and job costing. This page is a free, private worksheet for one question — what should this one lot or driveway cost, given its square footage, coats, and condition, before you quote it.
What each tool is for
Bitumio is asphalt estimation and scheduling software built for the paving industry, aimed at asphalt maintenance contractors who focus on sealcoating, crack filling, striping, and repair work rather than new construction. It combines job estimating, scheduling, customer management, and job costing with integrated map measurement tools and QuickBooks integration. Its own marketing describes automated proposal generation and material-quantity calculations that factor in crack sizes, application method — spray versus squeegee — coverage rate, and waste. It is sold as an ongoing subscription with a free tier. Bitumio'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 — paving-industry estimating and scheduling software, sold as a subscription with a free tier — are stated, and no dollar amount for Bitumio appears on this page.
This calculator does none of what Bitumio does. It does not manage customer records, schedule crews, or integrate with accounting software, and it stores no customer or job record on a server. It takes one job's square footage, coat count, pavement condition, oil-spot priming, crack fill, sealer coverage rate and waste, loaded wage, payroll burden, materials, overhead, target margin, and travel, and turns that into the per-job price, the price per square foot, the effective hourly rate, and the walk-away price below which the job loses money — plus, if you already have a price on the table, a check of whether it clears that walk-away floor, and a single printable customer proposal for that one job. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type.
| Question | Where to answer it |
|---|---|
| I run a paving or sealcoating company and need estimating, scheduling, job costing, and QuickBooks integration in one system across every crew and every job. | Bitumio, or a comparable paving-industry platform — running a whole company is not something this calculator does. |
| What should I charge for this one lot or driveway, given its square footage, coats, and condition, before I quote it? | This calculator — free, instant, private, no account. |
| How much does oil-spot priming or crack fill actually add next to a clean, crack-free lot? | This calculator's condition and crack-fill line items, not a flat surcharge. |
| Is the price I'm about to quote still above my walk-away cost for this job? | This calculator's compare-to-proposed-price check. |
| I need one shared account so my whole crew is scheduling, costing jobs, and syncing to QuickBooks the same way. | Bitumio, or a comparable paving-industry platform. |
| How does the math behind a sealcoating 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. Bitumio is used through a subscription account (a free tier is offered). |
Most sealcoating and paving contractors get different value from each: Bitumio (or a comparable paving-industry platform) for running estimating, scheduling, job costing, and accounting integration across a whole company as an ongoing subscription, and a private calculator like this one for an instant, no-login gut-check on what one lot should cost from its square footage and condition before a business system is involved. This page's own figures are a pricing model, not a scheduled job, an invoice, 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 Bitumio?
They do different jobs, and a sealcoating or paving business of any size may end up using both. Bitumio is asphalt estimation and scheduling software built for the paving industry, aimed at asphalt maintenance contractors who focus on sealcoating, crack filling, striping, and repair work rather than new construction. It combines job estimating, scheduling, customer management, and job costing with integrated map measurement tools and QuickBooks integration, and its own marketing describes automated proposal generation and material-quantity calculations that factor in crack sizes, application method (spray versus squeegee), coverage rate, and waste. It is sold as an ongoing subscription with a free tier. Bitumio'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 are stated, and no dollar amount for Bitumio appears on this page. This calculator does one narrower thing: starting from square footage, coat count, pavement condition, oil-spot priming, crack fill, sealer coverage, loaded wage, materials, overhead, and travel, it turns that into the per-job price, the price per square foot, the effective hourly rate, and the walk-away price below which the job loses money, before any of it touches a business-management system. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type. A paving or sealcoating company already running estimates, scheduling, job costing, and QuickBooks integration across a whole crew is better served by Bitumio or a comparable paving-industry platform; a contractor who wants an instant, private gut-check on what one lot or driveway should cost from its square footage and condition before opening a business system is in the right place here.
