← Carpet Installation Bid Calculator
This calculator vs. Jobber
Two different shapes: Jobber runs a home-service business's clients, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payments. This page is a free, private worksheet for one question — what should this one carpet install cost, given its floor yards, stairs, and scope, 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, flooring, 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 or job record on a server. It takes one carpet install — floor square feet converted to yards, stair count priced per step, a choice between stretch-in, glue-down, double-stick, and carpet tile, solid-versus-patterned waste, tear-out, a furniture move, and haul-away — and turns that into the job price, the price per yard, and the walk-away price below which a flat per-yard special loses money, plus 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 need every client, quote, schedule, invoice, and payment for my crew managed in one place. | Jobber, or a comparable field-service platform — running the business is not something this calculator does. |
| What should I charge for this carpet install, given its floor yards, stairs, and scope? | This calculator — free, instant, private, no account. |
| Is a $2-a-yard flat rate really the same price for a straight stretch-in as a patterned glue-down with fourteen stairs? | This calculator's scope-and-waste math, not a flat per-yard rate. |
| Is the price I'm about to quote still above my walk-away cost for this job? | This calculator's walk-away price check. |
| 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 a carpet-install 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 flooring companies get different value from each: Jobber (or a comparable field-service platform) for client management, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payments across a whole crew as an ongoing subscription, and a private calculator like this one for an instant, no-login answer to what one carpet install should cost from its floor yards, stairs, and scope 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 Jobber?
They do different jobs, and a flooring company of any size may end up using both. 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, flooring, 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. This calculator does one narrower thing: starting from floor square feet converted to yards, stair count priced per step, a choice between stretch-in, glue-down, double-stick, and carpet tile, solid-versus-patterned waste, tear-out and a furniture move, it turns that into the job price, the price per yard, and the walk-away price below which a flat per-yard special loses money, plus a printable customer proposal, 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 flooring company already managing clients, quoting, scheduling, and invoicing across a whole crew is better served by Jobber or a comparable field-service platform; an installer who wants an instant, private, correctly-estimated price for one carpet job before a bid goes out is in the right place here.
