How to Know What a Job Is Worth Before You Say Yes

Before accepting a quote request or marketplace task, run a 20-second check on time, travel, fees, and materials so low-margin work never blocks better-paying jobs.

1. The 4 Numbers to Check Before Accepting Any Job

Whether a job comes from a direct client call, Airtasker, hipages, or Ezy Peazy, checking four numbers upfront protects your week:

  • 1. Gross price vs platform commission or lead fee.
  • 2. Direct materials, consumables, or tip/disposal fees.
  • 3. Total time commitment (including supplier pickup and round-trip travel).
  • 4. Your target minimum hourly rate.

2. Turning a Value Check Into a Scheduled Job
