Calculate materials or parts, machining or diagnostic/service time, direct labour, overhead and profit margin in seconds — built equally for fabrication shops and auto repair workshops, with prices pre-loaded for Lagos, Ibadan, Oshogbo, Abeokuta and the wider SW Nigeria region.
Most Nigerian fabricators are leaving money on the table — or losing jobs because their quotes have no structure.
Estimating "by feeling" means you quote too low, win the job, then lose money when diesel, steel prices and labour costs eat your margin.
Generator costs, rent, machine maintenance — they rarely appear in quotes but silently consume every naira of profit. You work for nothing.
Calculating every line item in Excel or on paper is slow. By the time your quote is ready, the client has moved on to a competitor.
Built specifically for machine shops, fabricators, and auto repair workshops in SW Nigeria — not a generic calculator adapted from abroad.
MS plate, stainless steel, aluminium, pipes, angles, channels, consumables — all with June 2026 SW Nigeria market prices. Add custom materials any time.
Lathe, milling, CNC, plasma cutting, welding (SMAW/MIG/TIG), plate rolling, press brake, grinding, finishing — with hourly rates and setup charges.
Switch to Auto Repair mode for engine scans, wheel alignment/balancing, brake service, A/C regas, crankshaft/camshaft grinding, cylinder honing, plus parts & consumables (oil, filters, brake pads, batteries, tyres by size). Same tool, same quote, equal footing with fabrication.
Assign tasks to specific trade categories — welder, CNC operator, machinist, helper, supervisor, QC, or Auto Technician, Auto Electrician, Panel Beater, Vulcanizer. Adjust hourly rates to match your shop.
Nigeria-specific overhead: diesel price, generator hours per day, fuel consumption, rent and maintenance — automatically allocated to your job duration.
See your cost split across materials, machining, labour and overhead as a colour-coded bar — instantly spot where your cost is concentrated.

"Before this tool I was guessing my quotes. I won a structural steel job last month using it and made 28% profit — the best margin I've had in two years."
"The generator overhead calculation alone is worth everything. I never properly accounted for diesel costs before — I was losing money on every long job."
"I used to quote brake and alignment jobs off the top of my head. Now I add the parts, the labour hours, and it gives me a proper written quote in minutes."
"My customers now get a real printed quote instead of a verbal price — for engine work, diagnostics, even tyre changes. It makes my workshop look serious."
