Electrical quote budget calculator
The Indooroopilly electrical quote calculator adds the quoted figures and the contingency you enter. Add the figures you have and your chosen contingency, then see the amount you would set aside. This is not a quote for electrical work.

The result does not include unknown work, confirm a quote's completeness or predict a contractor's price.

Subtotal = your quoted amount + your excluded-cost allowance. Contingency = subtotal × your chosen percentage ÷ 100. Planning total = subtotal + contingency, rounded to cents. Each input changes this arithmetic when the other figures are held constant.
You supply every amount and the percentage. There are no market rates, hidden multipliers or industry benchmarks. Compare prices on the same tax-inclusive basis. Assumptions: the quote and allowance are separate, non-negative figures. You have not counted the same item twice. Unknown faults, scope changes and timing are not modelled. This number is a personal budgeting aid, not an installation estimate, diagnosis or approval.
Before accepting a proposal, check the actual business through the Electrical Safety Office contractor-licence search. Read the switchboard quote comparison guide for differences that a total alone cannot settle.
Make the quotes comparable first
A cheaper assessment-only price and a complete repair proposal are different purchases. Confirm the original job, parts, access, testing, finishing and any separately priced return visit. Put optional improvements on a separate line so the budget reflects the work you actually want to authorise.
