Free calculators for a one or two inspector shop
Two working calculators for inspectors who price their own jobs and write their own reports, with realistic defaults you can override.
Inspectors run their businesses on two numbers that rarely get written down: what one inspection actually leaves after the truck, the insurance and the unbilled evening, and how many jobs a day can fit before the same evening report promise breaks. Both are simple arithmetic. Almost nobody does the arithmetic, because the answers arrive in the middle of a busy spring.
These calculators are free, need no account, and run entirely in your browser. Start with your own last month rather than a hypothetical average, because the inspection that ran long and the drive across two counties are the ones setting your real numbers. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

The same day inspection report checklist
A field tested sequence that takes a full inspection from the signed agreement to a delivered report before the buyer goes to bed.
Why the inspection arithmetic here is open to anyone
Every inspector already runs these numbers somewhere, usually with a thumb on a phone calculator in the truck, or on the back of a pre inspection agreement while the buyer is late for the walkthrough. It is the errors and omissions premium, the state license renewal, the association dues and the report software split across the inspections that actually happened last month, then the fee minus a round trip to a property two counties out. It is also the morning guess about whether two full inspections and two reports really fit before the delivery hour you promised the agents. That arithmetic costs nothing to do badly on a napkin, so we did not put a sign up form in front of the version that does it properly.
Both calculators run in your browser with no account and no email, and nothing you type is sent anywhere. They are worth having even if you never open SlabToRoof: the profit per inspection figure tells you whether the far county job survives the drive once overhead is spread across your real volume, and the cutoff planner tells you at eight in the morning how many writing minutes each report can have before the buyer goes to bed. Print the results, argue with them at the kitchen table, and reprice your next standard single family job with a number instead of a feeling.
Both calculators point at the same evening
Whichever one you ran, the answer usually lands in the same place: the desk hours after the last crawlspace are what eat the margin and break the same evening promise. If that is what your figures showed, take one of your own inspections into a demo. We will show what falls off the evening when photos get annotated at the panel instead of at ten at night.
