Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free calculator for car detailers that estimates a job’s remaining hourly return, with a paid companion for detailed quotes and business costs.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The calculator uses three inputs—price, total hours, and direct job costs—and explicitly includes setup and driving in the time total. Its worked example turns a $300 job with $40 in direct costs and five hours into $52 per working hour, while warning that this is not take-home pay or business profit. A $23 Complete purchase adds quote-building, saved browser data, backups, and customer-facing print or PDF output.
