Electrician Estimate & Job Costing

Electrician estimate template and job costing spreadsheet in one Excel workbook. Build an electrical quote from your own price book, send the client a clean printable quote, then track what every job really cost and made.

MADE FOR ELECTRICIANS

• The blank workbook comes with a starter price book of 25 common electrical items: 14/2 and 12/2 cable, device boxes, receptacles, GFCI receptacles, switches, breakers, light fixtures, LED pot lights, conduit and fittings, smoke and CO alarms, electrician and apprentice labour, service call, device and fixture installs, panel change, rough-in per device, permit and disposal, and more. Add your own costs once and reuse them on every quote
• Units that fit the trade: roll, ea, lot, hr, day
• Sample file: a filled-in electrical contracting business, with a kitchen lighting upgrade (six pot lights, two switches, one GFCI), eight jobs and their costs

WHAT IT DOES

• Estimate builder: pick items or type your own, enter quantities, and unit prices, line totals, taxes, deposit and balance calculate for you. Your cost, gross profit and margin show before you send
• Client quote: a printable one-page quote with your business details, the client, line items, up to two taxes, deposit, terms and a signature line. Your costs and markup never appear on it
• Taxes: two tax lines with your own names and rates. Each applies to all lines, materials only, or labour only
• Jobs: status (lead, quoted, won, in progress, complete, lost), contract price, estimated vs actual cost, hours, profit, margin and money still owed (200 jobs)
