Repair Job Cost Estimator Template

A real spreadsheet for pricing a repair job, not a number written on a work order by feel. Enter parts cost, labor hours and rate, and a shop fee, and it calculates a subtotal, applies your local tax rate, and returns the total price to quote the customer.

Parts Cost$350.00
Labor Hours3
Labor Rate$110.00/hr
Labor Cost$330.00
Shop Fee$45.00
Subtotal$725.00
Tax (8%)$58.00
Total Price$783.00

Green rows calculate automatically from the values above them — change any number in FLYNT Sheets and they update.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace shop management software?
No — this is a pricing calculator, not a full shop management system. If you need appointment scheduling, technician assignment, or repair order workflow, that's a job for dedicated shop management software like Tekmetric or Shopmonkey. This template does one thing: turn parts, labor, and fees into a real price.
Can I adjust this for different tax rates or job types?
Yes — it's a real spreadsheet. Duplicate the sheet to keep separate versions for different tax jurisdictions or job types (diagnostic, routine maintenance, major repair).
Is this free to use?
Yes, on FLYNT's free plan — no credit card required.
