The base rates come from what working US contractors actually charge, not consumer estimate sites. Consumer sites like Angi and Thumbtack average in hobbyists and one-truck weekend operators, which anchors homeowners low. These ranges reflect insured operators running a real business.
Region matters more than most new operators think. The same 2,000 square foot house pays differently in Portland Maine than in Phoenix. The Florida multiplier is low because of raw competition density, not weak demand.
The output is a starting range, not a contract. Your costs, your close rate, and your calendar decide your final number.

Whatever the calculator says, set a per-job minimum and hold it. $150 if you are brand new, $200 by your second season, $250 once your calendar is full. The minimum protects the slot, not the job.
