Job Pricing Calculator

Biohazard work has real per-job costs: labor in demanding PPE, consumables that get burned, waste that costs money to dispose of legally. This calculator computes your cost basis and floor from the numbers you enter. It does not know your market; it knows your math. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Your job inputs

Crew members on the job

Two-person crews are the working norm

Estimated hours on site, per person

Containment, work, verification, and cleanup of the setup itself

Loaded labor cost per person-hour ($)

Wage plus payroll costs, per person, per hour: your cost, not the billed rate

PPE sets consumed, whole job

Suits, gloves, boot covers burned across the crew, including changes

Cost per PPE set ($)

Your real per-set cost from your supplier

Waste containers going to the hauler

Red-bag boxes / rigid containers, per your hauler's spec

Disposal + transport cost per container ($)

From your hauler quote, including any pickup fee share

Consumables + equipment share ($)

Disinfectants, plastic, tape, plus a per-job share of machines that wear out

Round-trip travel miles

Scene plus disposal logistics

Vehicle cost per mile ($)

Fuel plus wear; the IRS standard mileage rate at irs.gov is a common sanity check

Overhead per job ($)

Monthly fixed costs (insurance, phone, storage) divided by realistic jobs per month

Target margin (%)

What the company earns beyond cost; pays for growth, slow months, and risk

After-hours / immediate response premium

What actually moves a real quote

Scene scope: one affected room prices differently from several, and materials that must be removed (carpet, pad, subfloor, drywall) add labor and waste volume.
Time discovered: scenes found later involve more affected material and more air treatment time.
Waste volume: every container has a real disposal cost, which is why honest quotes follow an assessment rather than a phone guess.
Verification and documentation: the completion record, photos, and manifests take time and are part of what professional work costs.
Who pays: homeowners insurance frequently covers this work subject to the policy, and many state victim compensation programs can reimburse eligible families; neither changes your floor.
