🟢calculate_price_per_job(hours, hourly_rate, materials, travel, monthly_overhead, ...)

Works out a price for one service job: cost = hours x hourly pay + materials + travel + monthly overhead / jobs per month; price = cost / (1 - profit margin). Also returns profit per job, monthly revenue and break-even jobs per month. Same formula as https://profitdrawer.com/tools/price-per-job-calculator.html. Margins above 95% are treated as 95%.

🟢calculate_loan_payoff(balance, apr_percent, monthly_payment, extra_payment)

Works out how many months a loan takes to pay off and the total interest, month by month (one month of interest = APR / 12 is added, then the payment is taken off), and what an optional extra monthly payment saves in interest and time. Same method as https://profitdrawer.com/tools/loan-payoff-calculator.html. A close estimate; lenders can differ slightly.

🟢calculate_tax_set_aside(profit, period, set_aside_percent)

Estimates how much of a self-employed profit to set aside for taxes: set-aside = profit x chosen percent, and the US self-employment tax part = profit x 92.35% x 15.3% (12.4% Social Security + 2.9% Medicare), per month, quarter or year. Same formula as https://profitdrawer.com/tools/self-employed-tax-calculator.html. An estimate, not tax advice.
