I am hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.

What I want to do:
Create a form that will be used to quote pricing for a service which includes materials, labor, etc. The user of this form would be a salesperson working with a client. They input the various cost of materials and labor and a quote is produced based on desired margins. The quote would then be save to a db to be recalled later.
All that is really needed is the ability to perform basic arithmetic on multiple fields.

What I've looked into:
Webforms looked to be the way to do this most easily, but would take some tinkering. Though I am not proficient with php, I'm sure I could get through it.
CCK + computed fields: This looks like it might be overkill for my application.

Any direction I go will be a learning process for me, so I don't want to go too far down one path and realize that I've headed the wrong direction. Could somebody please chime in and give me a nudge in the right direction?

computed fields is indeed your way forward.

The rules module could do this for you. It will be quite a learning curve though once mastered you can do absolutely load of stuff without any php coding at all. Node one have a lot of video tutorials on its use.
See http://drupal.org/project/rules
