Save results to a job worksheet

Build job worksheets

Open Jobs to create, search, edit, archive, duplicate, or delete worksheets. Add job details, measurements, saved calculator results, cost rows, checklist items, and notes so the working record is ready for export or later checking.

Use templates for repeat work

Open Templates to start from common job worksheets such as concrete, fencing, decorating, drywall, stud walls, decking, roofing, and tiling. Pro users can also save custom templates from existing jobs for repeatable site workflows.

Export and share PDFs

Open a job and choose Export PDF to create a client-ready worksheet summary. The preview includes job details, measurements, saved calculator results, cost rows, checklist items, notes, and TradeCalc branding. Use the system share sheet to save, print, email, or send the PDF through destinations available on your device.

Set company branding and defaults

Open Settings to manage TradeCalc Studio Pro, restore purchases, add company details and an optional logo for PDF exports, choose metric or imperial defaults, set VAT or sales tax, choose rounding preferences, review iCloud sync, and open the user guide, support, privacy policy, and terms links.

Understand calculations and privacy

TradeCalc Studio is an estimating and worksheet tool. Check measurements, supplier specifications, site conditions, local rules, and professional requirements before relying on outputs for quotes, ordering, safety, or compliance. The app stores jobs locally by default. Optional sync uses the user's private Apple iCloud account; RGT Software Ltd does not operate a TradeCalc cloud account service.
