Free Tool for Contractors Am I making money on this job?

JobLedger answers that question in real time — while you’re still standing in the half-finished shower. No accounting knowledge required. No cloud. No login. Just your numbers, live on your phone.

You’re working. But are you making money?

The mental math lie

“I think I’m on track.” You’re not tracking anything. You’re guessing — and the guess is always optimistic.

Materials creep

Three extra trips to the supply house. A tool rental you forgot to quote. It adds up fast and you don’t know how fast until the job is done.

Labor bleed

The job took two days longer than you figured. That’s real money. But you won’t know the damage until you sit down with a spreadsheet — which you never do.

The surprise at the end

Job closes. You add it up. You made $800 on a three-week project. That’s not a business. That’s a very expensive hobby.


This is the real app. Use it.

The demo below is fully functional. It comes pre-loaded with a sample job so you can see live numbers the moment it opens. Edit anything — change the contract amount, add material costs, log labor, throw in a change order. Watch the margin update in real time. You can click on the sample job, or create your own by clicking +New Job. This is exactly what you’ll have on your phone.

Sandbox mode: data entered here won’t be saved between sessions. In the installed app, everything saves automatically to your device. You can’t break it — go ahead and play with the numbers.


Everything in one screen

Live KPI Dashboard

Adjusted revenue, total costs, projected profit, and margin percentage — recalculated every time you touch a number. No refresh. No math.

Four Cost Lanes

Expenses, Labor, Additions, and Deductions tracked separately so you know exactly where the money is going — and where it’s coming back from.

Labor Rate Presets

Save your crew rates once. Log hours by worker or role. The app calculates labor cost per entry and rolls it into your totals automatically.

P&L Summary PDF

Generate a full profit and loss summary with one tap — itemized by category, color-coded by margin, with your logo on it. Pro feature.

Works Offline

No signal on the job site? Doesn’t matter. JobLedger runs entirely on your device. No cloud, no login, no subscription required.

Portable Job Records

Export any job as a JSON file for backup or transfer to another device. Import a job from FieldCapture and your client info populates automatically.

Buy once, done

One fair price. No monthly fees, no surprise hikes, no account to manage. Pay once and it’s yours.

Built on the job

23 years in the trades. Built because the other apps were too complicated and contractors still weren’t using them.

Instant clarity

You don’t need to wait until the job is done to know if you’re making money. You should know that on day three.

Part of a full suite

JobLedger connects to the full DCB Contractor Tools suite. Start here, grow into ProjectTracker when you’re ready.


What contractors are saying

“I always thought I had a handle on my numbers. First job I tracked with this thing, I was at 11% margin. I thought I was at 30. That was a wake-up call I needed.”

DM
D. Morales
General contractor

“Simple enough that I actually use it. I’ve tried spreadsheets, I’ve tried other apps. This one I open every morning on the job. That’s the difference.”

TK
T. Kowalski
Tile & stone contractor

“The margin number going red on me mid-job was the best thing that ever happened. I caught a labor bleed early enough to actually fix it. Never could have done that before.”

RB
R. Brennan
Remodeling contractor

Stop guessing. Start knowing.

JobLedger is free. It installs on your phone in 30 seconds. The first job you track with it will tell you something your spreadsheet never did.

A quick note. I’m an independent contractor with 23 years in the trades. I built these tools because I needed them and they didn’t exist. Every problem JobLedger solves is one I’ve dealt with personally — on a real job, with real money on the line.


Use the free version as long as you want. There’s no time limit, no nag screen, no pressure. If the Pro version saves you from one bad job, it’s paid for itself ten times over. I really am an independent contractor. I get it.
