Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs you enter, by the method stated below it. BreakerDesk publishes no market averages and quotes no survey: the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own.
Electrician billing is a chain with four links: the estimate the customer accepted, the invoice built from the same price book so the two agree, the signature and the payment at the door, and the record against the property that makes the next job. Break any link and the billing becomes the office's evening. The electrician invoicing software on this site builds the invoice from the book, free and without an account; BreakerDesk Pro takes the payment and keeps the record for the whole crew.

From the estimate to the invoice without retyping
The accepted estimate becomes the job, the job's tasks become the invoice, at the same price book rates. Pro does that; the estimate calculator and the invoicing software on this site produce the two ends of it free.
At the door, signed and paid
The invoice on the phone, the signature, the card. A receivable is the cost of not doing this.
Deposits, progress billing and the balance
A panel upgrade or a rewire takes a deposit, a progress payment at rough-in and the balance at final inspection; each is a line on the same job, and the invoice shows what was paid and what is due.
The record and what the vendors charge
Every invoice filed against the property with the panel record. From the vendors' own pricing pages: Tradify lists Lite at $47, Pro at $51 and Plus at $61 per user per month; Jobber lists Core at $49 per month for one user with additional users at $29 each; Housecall Pro lists Basic at $59 per month billed annually or $79 monthly. BreakerDesk Pro is $47 per month for the whole crew.
