Everything a drywall contractor needs to price a job, get paid, and win more work — free.
Board, mud, and tape calculations, invoices, estimates, contracts, and the pricing math — all in one place, built specifically for drywall contractors.
Price the job
Get the number right before you send it.
A patch job and a whole-house hang-and-finish don’t price the same way. Start with the drywall calculator, build the estimate off it, and check your markup before it goes out.
Drywall Calculator
Sheet count, mud, tape, and screws from room dimensions and finish level.
Drywall Estimate Template
Line-item estimate built around a real hang-and-finish job, ready to send.
Markup vs. Margin Calculator
Know the difference before you quote — the two numbers are never the same.
Most drywall bids go wrong on finish level, not board count. A level-5 finish and a level-3 finish use roughly the same sheets and very different labor hours — price off the finish level, not just the square footage.
Bill & get paid
Send an invoice that gets paid on time.
An itemized drywall invoice, a rate that actually covers your overhead, and the recovery math to check it.
Win the work / paperwork
Look like the professional bid, not the guy with a mud pan.
A written scope, a signed contract, and a proposal that reads like a real business — the paperwork that wins the job before price even comes up.
Run the business
Know your numbers, not just your prices.
Labor burden and break-even — the two numbers that tell you if the business itself is actually profitable.

Quick answers
Drywall tools FAQ.
Are these tools actually free?
Yes — every calculator and template linked above is free to use. Some detailed job-tracking packs and bundles in the shop are paid; those are always labeled.
Does the drywall calculator account for finish level?
Yes — select level 3, 4, or 5 and it adjusts mud coats and labor time accordingly, since finish level affects cost more than sheet count alone.
Do I need Excel or Word to use the templates?
Most templates are provided in both Word and Excel-friendly layouts, plus a version you can fill in directly on the page.
