How much should I raise my prices?
Costs go up and your price does not move. Put in a job's price and its cost, and see the rise that keeps your profit, and the most customers a rise can cost you.

Keep the same profit
If your cost per job rises, the price has to rise by at least that amount in pounds to leave you where you were. The calculator shows it as pounds and as a percentage of your price.
A rise can lose customers
A planned rise brings in more per job but can cost you some jobs. The limit is the share of customers you can lose before you are worse off than now.
Small margins mean small room
The thinner your margin, the more jobs you can lose from a rise and still come out ahead, and the more you need one. A high margin means you can afford to lose very few.

Questions
Should I tell customers why?
A short notice with a date works better than an explanation. Give existing customers a month.
What if my costs have not changed?
Then a rise is pure margin. The planned-rise figure still shows how much custom you can afford to lose.
Is this for hourly work?
It works for any unit you sell: a job, an hour or an item. Use the same unit for the price and the cost.
