This Excel workbook (.xlsx) helps UK painter and decorator businesses work out each job. Enter your hours and hourly rate, materials with a markup, and a fixed fee such as a call-out or travel charge, then add VAT if you want it on the quote. Quote Builder and Quote Output print the quote. Swap the placeholder hours, materials and prices for your own. Five totals — invoiced, received, progress against your target, expenses and surplus — come from the job log and the expenses tracker.
Works out each price as hours × your hourly rate, plus materials with a markup, plus a fixed fee such as a call-out or travel charge
Add VAT if you choose, then print the result as a quote
Comes with example figures — replace the hours, materials and hourly rate with your own

Who it's for
Who this painting and decorating pack is for
Hall, stairs and landing is the job that catches decorators out: tall walls, a lot of woodwork and more filling than the first look suggested. Count those prep hours before anything goes into Quote Builder, where hours at your hourly rate, paint, caulk and lining paper at cost plus your markup, and travel as a fixed fee, make the quote, with VAT added only if you charge it. Merchant receipts for the job then go into the Expenses Tracker.
- Decorators who price a single room one way and a whole house another and want both built from hours, materials and the same rate.
- Painters who want prep (sanding, filling, lining) counted in the hours on the quote, so a long prep day is already paid for.
- Businesses that want each quote printed from Quote Output and every accepted job logged for the Dashboard totals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I receive Pricing Calculator — Premium?
After payment, look for your LaunchKit download email in the inbox you used at checkout. Open its link to your download page and download the files listed for your order. You'll receive your Excel workbook (.xlsx) for Microsoft Excel. Google Sheets import has not been verified; check formulas and print layout if you use it. Keep a copy of your downloaded files. If the email is missing or a link is not working, check your spam or junk folder, then contact hello@yourlaunchkit.co.uk with your checkout email address and order number, if you have it, for help recovering your files.
Can I edit these files?
Use Microsoft Excel to edit the workbook and its pre-built formulas. Start with Start Here, replace the example inputs with your own figures, then save your working copy and review the quote before printing. Google Sheets import has not been verified; check formulas and print layout if you use it.
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. LaunchKit templates are practical business resources. Review against your own circumstances and check suitability for your business.
How should I price a whole house compared with one room?
Use the same method for both: add up the hours room by room, including prep, apply your hourly rate, then add paint and sundries with your markup and one travel fee. The whole-house quote is then the sum of the rooms rather than a guess, and a room the customer adds later is priced the same way.
