What is RateCheck?
RateCheck is a contractor quote profitability calculator that helps tradespeople determine whether a job will actually make money before sending the quote.
The software analyses labour time, materials, equipment and business overhead to show the real break-even rate for a job. It highlights when a quote is profitable, when it is too low, and how pricing affects overall income targets.
RateCheck is designed for self-employed contractors and small trade businesses who need to price work accurately before committing to a job.
