Material Depreciation Calculator

Know Your Equipment’s Real Value:

Understanding how your materials depreciate over time is key to accurate cost forecasting. This calculator helps you estimate the value of your scaffolding equipment, ensuring that your bids account for wear and tear over the course of your projects.





Labour Overheads Calculator

Capture All Workforce-Related Expenses:

Labour costs go beyond just wages. This calculator factors in all related overheads, including management, training, and insurance, to give you a true picture of your labour costs. Get the full cost of your workforce before you make your next bid.

The Labour overhead percentage uplifts the raw labour cost of the scaffolders, to cover the business costs associated with providing the labour. You need to know how much you spent over a set period on indirect labour costs and how much you spent on labour in wages in the same time period.






Material Overheads Calculator

Cover Every Material Expense:

From storage to transport and insurance, there are numerous overheads associated with your scaffolding materials. This calculator ensures that no cost is left out, allowing you to create more comprehensive and profitable estimates.

The Wage on cost percentage uplifts the raw labour cost to erect and dismantle the scaffold, to cover the costs associated with paying the scaffolders. You need to know how much you spent over a set period on National insurance, Tax, admin costs (like payroll software and admin staff wages), and how much you spent on labour in wages in the same time period.






Wage On-Costs Calculator

Account for Additional Wage Expenses:

Beyond the basic hourly rate, there are additional costs such as taxes, superannuation, and entitlements that need to be considered. This calculator ensures your wage estimates are complete, covering all on-costs to protect your profit margins.

The Wage on cost percentage uplifts the raw labour cost to erect and dismantle the scaffold, to cover the costs associated with paying the scaffolders. You need to know how much you spent over a set period on National insurance, Tax, admin costs (like payroll software and admin staff wages), and how much you spent on labour in wages in the same time period.







Labour Cost Calculator

Precision in Labour Pricing:

This calculator breaks down your labour costs into all relevant components, including base wages, overtime, and site-specific conditions. It’s your go-to tool for ensuring your labour estimates are accurate, competitive, and reflective of the true cost of your workforce.

The Labour cost for a given scaffold type is calculated by taking the total cost of the Gang per hour and dividing it by the Gang’s productivity rate for that scaffold type.





Transport Costs Calculator

Factor in All Transportation Expenses:

Transporting scaffolding materials and personnel can be a significant and often underestimated cost. This calculator helps you accurately estimate transportation expenses, factoring in everything from fuel to vehicle depreciation, ensuring you never undercharge for this critical aspect of your projects.

Calculate the cost of transport for your trip based on the overheads, fuel cost, and distance.
