The AI Till

The AI Till's day rate calculator starts with target income before tax, yearly business costs and the time available for paid work. It divides income plus costs by billable days, then shows a day rate and an hourly rate.

The useful input is the share of working days you can charge for. Quoting, buying materials and paperwork still take time. Counting them as billable would make the rate look lower than the business needs. The calculator describes its result as a floor, so it does not tell you what customers in your area will pay.

The quote calculator adds materials, markup, labour and other costs, with options for VAT treatment and construction reverse charge. It shows the parts of the total separately and offers text to copy into a quote. The guide connects these tools by job, so someone asking what to charge can start with the day rate and then build the quote.

There are also calculators for CIS deductions, mileage, tax estimates and employment costs. The quote page links GOV.UK guidance on construction VAT. Choosing the right VAT treatment or tax assumptions remains a separate decision, and the site describes the outputs as estimates rather than tax or legal advice.

The calculators are free and do not require sign-up. The site says their sums run in the browser and entered figures are not sent or stored. Its privacy notice separately covers hosting logs, newsletter subscriptions and messages sent to the operator.

The wider site has AI tool guides organised around jobs and trades. Its free prompt pack download requires a newsletter subscription. The AI Till also publishes sponsorship and affiliate disclosures, which are useful context when following its software recommendations.
