Is your tradie quote reasonable?

It's a sanity check, not a binding valuation. The ranges come from our hand-written corpus of typical AU job costs across 60+ job types and update over time. Real prices vary with region, access, materials, urgency — use this tool as a first-glance reality check, not a negotiating weapon.

The ranges and your input can both be either ex- or inc-GST — we compare totals. If you want to strip GST from a quoted total to see the net, use our GST calculator linked below.

Not necessarily. Legitimate reasons for an above-range quote: premium materials, complex access (two-storey, tight roof pitch), emergency/after-hours callout, specialist accreditation, regional pricing. A good tradie will break down the line items clearly — if they can't or won't, that's a red flag.

Be careful. A quote significantly below the typical floor can mean: inexperienced tradie, unlicensed work, missing scope, or a baseline that will balloon with 'extras'. Ask for an itemised breakdown before signing anything — materials, labour, disposal, compliance certificates all listed separately.

We hand-write each entry with AU line-item ranges and price drivers — we don't machine-generate, because thin price data is worse than no data. If your job isn't in the list yet, pick the closest and use the /price-guide/ link for related jobs. We're adding new jobs every week.
