Step by step

Works on your phone. Works on site. Works in under two minutes.

01

Enter your costs — in seconds

~30 sec

Select your job type and Tradewin auto-fills your last-used costs — so for repeat jobs you're ready before you've typed a single number. For new jobs, enter materials, labour, travel, and any other costs. Most tradies are done in under 30 seconds.

For repeat jobs, your last-used costs auto-fill the moment you pick the job type — so you're ready in seconds.

02

Market rate loads automatically

Instant

The moment you select a job type, Tradewin retrieves the going market rate for that job in your geographic region — pulled from Tradewin's proprietary regional pricing dataset. Nothing to look up. Nothing to Google.

A confidence indicator (High, Moderate, Low, or Estimated) tells you how localised and reliable the rate is for your specific area. You always know what the data is worth before you act on it.

03

Tradewin finds your strongest price

Instant

This is where Tradewin earns its keep. Rather than adding a percentage on top of your costs and hoping for the best, Tradewin weighs up your costs, the going market rate, and what the local market will bear — then surfaces the price that puts the most money in your pocket across all the quotes you send.

Not the highest margin. Not the lowest price. The price that works hardest for your business over time. You see it the moment your costs are in.

04

See the full picture before you commit

~10 sec

The results panel gives you everything at a glance: recommended price, gross and net profit (before and after tax), break-even, GST, and super. You can see exactly what happens to your margin if you go higher or lower before you've said a word to the client.

If your gut says a different number, enter it in the "Your Quote" field and Tradewin shows you what it means — the profit difference and how it compares to the recommended price. Make the call with full visibility, not a guess.

05

Send a professional quote on the spot

~30 sec

Happy with the number? Enter the client's name and email, hit Send, and a professionally formatted quote is already in their inbox — all while your hammer is still in the other hand. Accept and Decline buttons are built right into the email — the client responds with one tap.

No chasing. No writing it up later. No losing the job to someone who quoted faster. The whole thing takes about 30 seconds from results to sent.

06

Client responds — you're notified

Passive

Once the quote is sent, it lives on your dashboard. When the client accepts or declines via their email link, the status updates automatically. No follow-up calls asking "did you get my quote?" — you'll know the moment they've made a decision.

Over time, your dashboard builds a picture of your win rate, average profit, and quote history — so you can see what's working and where your pricing sits relative to the market.

Total: under 2 minutes

From opening the app to quote in the client's inbox — done before you've driven away.

Why not just quote lower to win more?

Most tradies assume a lower price means more wins, and more wins means more money. The maths says otherwise.

Quoting at the Tradewin price wins fewer jobs — but earns more money across all the quotes you send. You do less work, spend less on materials and travel, and take home more. The tradie quoting lower is working harder to earn less.

This is the number that most tradies never see — and the one Tradewin is built to find.

Why pricing is hard

Most tradies price on instinct — a percentage over costs, a number that feels right, or whatever the last job went for. The problem is that pricing too low leaves money on every job, and pricing too high loses the job entirely.

Tradewin removes the guesswork. It factors in your real costs, the going rate in your area, and what the local market will bear — then tells you the number that puts the most money in your pocket over time.

The result isn't always the highest price you could charge, or the lowest. It's the price that works hardest for your business — the one most tradies never find because they're too busy on the tools to run the numbers.

Too cheap

You win every job. But you're leaving money on the table on every single one.

Tradewin price

The number that works hardest for your business. Not too cheap, not too dear.

Too expensive

Great margin — when you win. The problem is you don't win enough.

Everything included

Cost auto-fill

Your last-used costs for each job type are saved automatically. Select the same job type next time and your usual rates and costs appear without re-entering anything.

Market rates are drawn from Tradewin's proprietary regional pricing dataset — localised to your area, not a national average. Confidence levels reflect how granular and reliable the data is for your specific region.

After-tax profit view

See your estimated take-home profit after income tax and superannuation — not just revenue or gross margin. Know what you actually keep before you send the quote.

Smart price guidance

Tradewin's engine factors in your costs, the going market rate, and local demand signals to surface the price that works hardest for your business — not just the highest margin or the lowest.

Dashboard analytics

Track your average profit, win rate, and quote history. Compare your performance against regional and national averages for the same job types.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tradewin free to use?

Yes — Tradewin has a free tier that gives you access to the full profit calculator and quote sending, up to 5 quotes per month. Paid plans unlock regional market benchmarks, unlimited quote sending, and dashboard analytics.

What trades does Tradewin support?

Tradewin currently supports Electrical, Plumbing, Carpentry, Painting, Tiling, Concreting, Roofing, HVAC / Air Conditioning, Landscaping, Pest Control, Pool & Spa, Garage Doors, and Other — with comprehensive job subtypes for each. More trades are added regularly.

How accurate is the recommended price?

The recommendation is based on your actual costs and the current market conditions in your area. It is not a guarantee — real-world results vary by client, location, and circumstances. Tradewin's guidance improves the more you use it, as it learns what works for your business specifically.

Where does the market rate data come from?

Market rates are drawn from Tradewin's proprietary regional pricing dataset — built from real trade quoting data and continuously updated. Confidence indicators — High, Moderate, Low, or Estimated — reflect how granular and reliable the rate is for your specific job type and location.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your individual quote data is never shared with other users. Only anonymised, aggregated pricing data is used to calculate market benchmarks. Your client details, costs, and business information remain private to your account.

Can I use Tradewin on my phone on site?

Yes. Tradewin is fully responsive and designed for mobile use. Many tradies use it on site to generate and send quotes before they leave the driveway.

Does Tradewin replace my accountant?

No. Tradewin is a business productivity tool, not a financial or accounting service. Tax and profit estimates are illustrative only and do not account for your individual tax position. You should continue to work with a registered accountant for tax advice.

Can my client accept or decline a quote from the email?

Yes. Quote emails include Accept and Decline buttons that link to a secure response page. When your client clicks either button, their response is recorded on your dashboard automatically.

What is the profit curve chart?

The profit curve shows how your take-home changes as your price goes up or down. It helps you see the full shape of your pricing options — not just the recommended number. The peak shows the price that works best for your business. Reference lines show your current quote and the market rate for easy comparison.
