Fence Cost Calculator for Fence Installers

The form your customers fill out

A live calculator, not a static quote request. Your customer enters their details and watches the number update on the spot, which is what turns a browser into a booked job.

What it calculates

Price per linear foot by material: wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link
Height tier and post spacing pull the right rate from your tables
Gates counted and priced separately by type and width
Terrain and old-fence removal added as conditional line items
Pre-qualified lead with footage and estimate lands in your dashboard

Why it closes more deals

⚡

A live number closes deals

Customers who see a real estimate the second they enter their details are far likelier to book than ones told to call for a quote. The number is the hook.

📊

Runs your most complex spreadsheet

Multi-tab workbooks, lookup tables, tiered rates, conditional line items, the lot. If the math runs in Excel, CalcForms runs it behind a clean form.

🔁

Update it by chatting

Prices move. Ask Claude to change a rate, add an option, or insert a step and the live form updates in seconds. No developer, no redeploy.

🎯

Backtest before you publish

Run your last 20 real jobs through it and tune the formula until the live estimate matches what you actually charge. Ship it once it lines up.

How this form was built

No template builder and no code. One message to Claude with the CalcForms connector switched on:

✦ Claude with the CalcForms connector

Build a fence cost calculator. Inputs: linear feet, fence type (wood $32/ft, vinyl $45/ft, aluminum $55/ft, chain link $22/ft), height (4ft 1.0x, 6ft 1.2x, 8ft 1.45x), number of gates at $350 each, and a yes/no for removing an old fence (add $6/ft). Multiply linear feet by the per-foot rate, apply the height multiplier, add gates and removal, then show the customer a low-to-high range. Keep my rates internal.

Done. I built Fence Cost Calculator with your pricing and deployed it to forms.badabingapp.cc. The math runs server-side and every submission is saved with the inputs and email. Want to add a field or change a rate? Just tell me.

Build this exact form

CalcForms is a connector you add to Claude once. After that you build and edit forms just by chatting.

Add CalcForms to Claude. Open the Add custom connector dialog, name it Calcforms, and paste https://forms.badabingapp.cc. One time, about 60 seconds.
Paste the prompt below. Claude builds the form, wires in your math, and hands you a live URL.
Share it, then tweak by chatting. Put it on your site or send the link. Change a rate or add a field later just by asking.

Copy this prompt into Claude

"Build a fence cost calculator. Inputs: linear feet, fence type (wood $32/ft, vinyl $45/ft, aluminum $55/ft, chain link $22/ft), height (4ft 1.0x, 6ft 1.2x, 8ft 1.45x), number of gates at $350 each, and a yes/no for removing an old fence (add $6/ft). Multiply linear feet by the per-foot rate, apply the height multiplier, add gates and removal, then show the customer a low-to-high range. Keep my rates internal."

Example run: 180 linear feet of 6 ft vinyl ($45/ft, 1.2x) with 2 gates returns a customer-facing range of about $10,300 to $11,800.

FAQ

Can it price by material and height together?

Yes. Each material has a per-foot rate and each height applies a multiplier, both from lookup tables. Claude wires the logic so the right combination prices automatically.

How are gates handled?

Gates are a separate input priced per unit by type and width, so they add to the total independently of the run footage.

Can I update prices when lumber or vinyl moves?

Yes. Ask Claude to change the rates or edit your price tab. The form updates in seconds and the link does not change.

Does the customer see my per-foot cost?

No. They see the estimate range only. Your per-foot costs and margin stay internal, chosen per field.
