About ServerCents

ServerCents started with restaurant math: tip-outs, tip pools, and what a shift actually pays after everything is taken out. It grew into a simple idea: every job has a true number, and most people are quoting, accepting, and working without ever seeing it.

Today the site holds 231 free calculators across 18 categories, from plumbers and pest techs to wedding planners and nannies. Each one was built around the same rules:

• Count the invisible hours. Drive time, intake calls, revisions, callbacks, and admin are real costs. Every tool makes you enter them.
• Honest defaults, your numbers win. Defaults come from real-world pricing, and every single input can be changed to match your market.
• No fake anything. No invented earnings claims, no testimonials, no download counts. Just math you can check.
• Private by design. Calculations run in your browser. Your prices and income never leave your device.

The companion project is PennyPlate: 36 real recipes that show their true cost per serving, built on the same philosophy: show the real number.

Estimates from these tools are for planning. They are not financial, tax, or legal advice, and your local rates and costs always come first.
