Labor Hour Converter
This converts labor hours to dollars at the posted rate, then adds paint supplies at 55 dollars per paint hour, body supplies at 5 dollars per body hour, parts after markup, and 7.75 percent tax on parts and materials only. Labor is not taxed in California, which is why the tax line is smaller than people expect.

Tax applies to parts and materials only. Labor is not taxed in California. This reproduces how a written estimate is actually calculated, so a quote from any shop can be checked line by line against it.
Computation happens in your browser and nothing is transmitted or stored. Figures derive from the published rate card, so a result here matches how a written estimate is built. See the full rate card or the other calculators.
