What is RateCheck?

RateCheck is software designed to help contractors and tradespeople understand the real cost and profitability of their work before sending quotes.

Many contractors price work using experience, rough day rates or comparisons with other quotes. RateCheck instead focuses on the financial structure behind a job, helping tradespeople calculate the true cost of running their business and whether a piece of work is financially sustainable.

The platform analyses labour time, materials, equipment costs, overhead, tax obligations and income targets to calculate the break-even rate required to support a contractor's business.

RateCheck includes practical tools such as quote profitability calculators, contractor rate modelling and break-even pricing analysis. These tools allow tradespeople to check whether a quote actually works for their business before committing to the job.

Rather than simply generating prices, RateCheck helps contractors understand the financial reality behind their work so they can price jobs with greater clarity and avoid taking on work that looks profitable but ultimately loses money.
