Stamped concrete quotes die on one flat dollars-per-square-foot number. Plain, stamped, and overlay are different jobs, and pigment, release, stamps rental, and pattern complexity all go unpriced in one rate. Start with your bar (75), margin percent (20), minimum job fee ($1,500), weekly goal ($2,500). Pick a preset: Patio slate, Driveway multi-color, or Overlay, each filling sizes, colors, patterns, and minutes as editable starting points. The color card prices plain, single, or multi-color at 2.5x pigment, adds time for moderate and custom patterns, and overlay mode skips concrete and stamp rental entirely. Materials take dollars per yard with a waste percent, pigment per yard, release plus stamps, and sealer per sqft. Labor counts prep, pour, stamp, wash, seal, drive minutes, and helper hours. Results show concrete by yardage, colorant, release plus stamps, sealer, your labor with drive, true cost, the recommended quote (cost plus margin, rounded up to $25, never below the minimum), dollars per sqft, and your effective rate. Verdicts are PRICED RIGHT, CLOSE, BUT LEAKING, WORKING TOO CHEAP, or LOSING MONEY. The gut check prices your instinct per-sqft rate; the week planner turns your goal into jobs with an over-50-hour reality check. No signup; runs on your phone.
Example only, not typical pricing. Patio slate preset at a $75 bar with 20 percent margin: 400 sqft, 4-inch slab, single color at $35 pigment per yard, 8 percent waste, $185 concrete per yard, $250 release plus stamps, $1.25 sealer per sqft, 12 helper hours at $20, 60 drive minutes, 40 miles. Yardage is (400 x 4 / 324) x 1.08 = 5.33 yards; concrete is 5.33 x 185 = $986.67; colorant is 5.33 x 35 = $186.67; sealer is 400 x 1.25 = $500; materials total $1,923.33. Your labor is 16 hours including drive at $75 = $1,200; helper is $240; vehicle is 40 x 0.67 = $26.80. True cost is $3,390.13. Recommended quote is max(1,500, ceil(3,390.13 x 1.20 / 25) x 25) = $4,075, or $10.19 per sqft. Effective rate is ($4,075 - $1,923.33 - $240 - $26.80) / 16 = $117.80 per hour, which clears the bar, so the verdict is PRICED RIGHT. A $7.50 gut quote would pay $50.62 per hour, grade WORKING TOO CHEAP, and leave $1,075 on the table. The week planner turns $684.87 of profit per job into 3.7 jobs and 58.4 hours for a $2,500 goal, which fires the over-50-hour reality check.
Why does the tool separate plain, single, and multi-color pricing?
Colorant cost and stamp labor move with the color system. Multi-color runs pigment at 2.5x per yard plus pattern labor, so a single per-sqft rate silently donates the difference on every colorful job.
How is concrete yardage computed?
Square feet times thickness in inches divided by 324, times one plus your waste percent. The breakdown shows the yards so you can sanity-check it against the plant ticket.
What does overlay mode skip?
Concrete, base prep, and stamp rental, since the work goes over an existing slab. Pigment, release, sealer, and labor still price normally.
What does the pattern complexity adder do?
Moderate patterns add 60 minutes and custom or bordered work adds 180 minutes to your labor, because complex stamping is slower and less forgiving than a simple slate.
What does WORKING TOO CHEAP mean here?
The quote covers true cost but your effective rate falls below 80 percent of your bar. You are funding the job with cheap hours; raise the per-sqft number or the minimum fee.
