§In brief

Free calculators for the numbers a small-business owner actually has to decide on — what bookkeeping should cost, what a cleanup will run, break-even, cash runway, which QuickBooks plan fits, and whether you owe sales tax in a state. Built by TechBrot’s team led by a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, each one is transparent about its math and honest about its limits: estimates draw straight from published fixed-fee pricing and are never a binding quote. Independent firm — not Intuit. The full set of tools is below.

Free, transparent, and honest about their limits — each one shows its own math.

QuickBooks Migration Readiness Check

Estimate a one-time QuickBooks cleanup or catch-up from how far behind and how messy your books are, against our published cleanup and catch-up pricing.

Open the estimator

Estimate the monthly fee to have your payroll managed — from headcount, states, and frequency. Our management fee only, not wages or taxes.

Enter your fixed costs, price, and variable cost per sale to see the monthly sales volume and revenue where you break even. Your own numbers, plain math.

Sales Tax Rate Lookup

Rates change constantly and are address-specific, so instead of a stale box, a ProAdvisor finds your exact current rate and nexus with you on a free call.

How it works
§More to come

Need a tool we don’t have yet?

This set covers the questions we hear most. We add tools as businesses ask for them — if there’s a calculation you wish existed, mention it on a discovery call and we’ll look at building it.

§About these tools

Questions about the tools.

Are these tools really free?
Yes — genuinely free, with nothing locked behind a form or an email signup. We build them, led by a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, to be useful first; if a tool raises a question about your own books, you’re welcome to book a free discovery call, but there’s no obligation and no gate.
Is a calculator estimate the same as a quote?
No. Every estimate here is built from TechBrot’s published pricing to put you in a realistic range — it is never a binding quote. A short form can’t see your actual file. Your exact fixed fee is always confirmed in writing within 3 business days of a free discovery call, before any work begins.
Where do the numbers come from?
From our real, published fixed-fee pricing — the same ranges shown on the pricing page and identical everywhere on the site. We don’t invent figures or quote competitor prices we can’t verify. Each tool shows its own math so you can see exactly how it reached a number.
Do the tools send my information anywhere?
No. The calculators run entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is transmitted or stored anywhere unless you choose to book a call and tell us yourself. You can use any tool here completely anonymously.
What tools are available right now?
Eleven, all live: the bookkeeping cost calculator, the QuickBooks migration readiness check, the cleanup cost estimator, the payroll cost calculator, the break-even and cash-runway calculators, the business budget worksheet, the QuickBooks plan selector, the 1099 deadline calculator, the sales-tax nexus checker, and the sales-tax rate lookup. Every one is listed above with a real link; we do not list tools that do not exist yet.
