Every calculator computes fully on the server and again in the browser, so it also runs without JavaScript. Each one is a back-of-the-envelope calculation for a conversation, not tax or legal advice: your collective agreement, your works agreement and your contracts override any number shown here.

Five calculators help with costing. alluvo answers the same questions continuously, from the framework contract, shift plan and timesheet, not from a form.
