Will this tell me what cleaners charge in my town?
No. Supply your own costs, time assumptions and target margin. The result is a cost-based estimate, not a market-rate recommendation or a guarantee of customer acceptance.
Why pay for Quote Desk if this calculator is free?
The free page calculates one estimate. Quote Desk keeps snapshots, generates a customer printout, exports records, restores backups and compares estimates with completed jobs. You are buying the repeatable workflow.
Does it work on my phone or tablet?
The layout adapts to smaller screens, but the paid download is intended for a desktop browser. File opening and downloads vary on phones and tablets. Desktop use is the supported starting point.
Does TallyMop store customer information?
The free calculator has no customer fields and sends no entered numbers to us. The downloaded Quote Desk stores saved quotes only in your browser. It does not sync. Download a backup regularly. Hosting providers may keep routine access logs.
Does it replace accounting software or a service contract?
No. It estimates costs and prepares a quote. It does not file taxes, handle payroll, receive payments or create a legal service agreement.
