Glazing and glass services
Glazing edgework and fabrication quote
Price identical supplied panels with material, selected edge finishing, holes and setup charges.
Your inputs
Complete the fields for your selected method. Zero means intentionally zero, not unknown. Currency selection labels amounts; it does not convert exchange rates.
How this calculation works
cost = panel material area + selected edge length × rate + holes × cost + per-panel handling + setup; quote = cost/(1-margin)
Panel design, thickness, material and fabricability must be verified separately. Cost per hole is not a hole-location or drilling instruction. The tool does not certify structural glass, safe handling, tempering, edge clearance or product suitability. Include fabrication labor once in supplied rates. Use your own records for the same scope and period. Example figures are illustrative, not industry benchmarks. Results exclude income taxes and any cost you have not entered. Check the result before pricing work or committing resources.
What information do I need?
Use records for the same job, equipment or accounting period. Only the fields for your selected entry method are required. An unknown amount is not zero.
Input definitions and where to find them
- Panel length (in): Use measured dimensions or quantities and select their actual units. Do not mix dry and wet weight or capacity and actual consumption.
- Panel width (in): Use measured dimensions or quantities and select their actual units. Do not mix dry and wet weight or capacity and actual consumption.
- Identical panels (panels): Use the matching measured quantity, time log, schedule or clearly stated estimate. Zero means intentionally none; an unknown amount is not zero.
- Edges matching panel length finished per panel (edges): Use the matching measured quantity, time log, schedule or clearly stated estimate. Zero means intentionally none; an unknown amount is not zero.
- Edges matching panel width finished per panel (edges): Use the matching measured quantity, time log, schedule or clearly stated estimate. Zero means intentionally none; an unknown amount is not zero.
- Supplied hole count per panel (holes): Use the matching measured quantity, time log, schedule or clearly stated estimate. Zero means intentionally none; an unknown amount is not zero.
- Material cost per square foot (selected currency): Use a supplier quote, invoice, payroll record or allocated cost for the exact job or period named here. Include this amount only once.
- Finishing cost per linear foot (selected currency): Use a supplier quote, invoice, payroll record or allocated cost for the exact job or period named here. Include this amount only once.
- Cost per supplied fabrication hole (selected currency): Use a supplier quote, invoice, payroll record or allocated cost for the exact job or period named here. Include this amount only once.
- Other handling cost per panel (selected currency): Use a supplier quote, invoice, payroll record or allocated cost for the exact job or period named here. Include this amount only once.
- Fixed fabrication setup cost (selected currency): Use a supplier quote, invoice, payroll record or allocated cost for the exact job or period named here. Include this amount only once.
- Target margin on the quoted price (%): Enter a percentage from your records or an explicitly chosen scenario. No typical or recommended rate is supplied.
Use the Where to find this value controls beside the inputs for available work-it-out helpers. Estimates remain your assumptions; a helper does not verify the source figures.

These illustrative values are not recommended rates or industry averages. Replace every example input with your own figures.
Use the result well
Price identical supplied panels with material, selected edge finishing, holes and setup charges. Inputs come from your own records and stated assumptions; no rates or legal limits are looked up.
Keep inputs on the same scope and time basis. Calculations retain precision internally; displayed values generally round to two decimal places, with extra precision for very small values and whole-unit rounding where required. Economic comparisons describe your supplied assumptions and do not guarantee future results.
