Cost of Doing Business Calculator
Find Your True Cost Per Service Call
Stop guessing at your pricing. Enter your real numbers and see exactly what each service call costs you and what you should be charging.
What This Calculator Tells You
Most owners price from what the competition charges instead of what the work actually costs them. That is how a busy company still ends up unprofitable.
- Your cost per billable hour, the internal benchmark most owners never calculate
- Your cost per service call, which is the number your pricing should start from
- Your annual cost of doing business
- A recommended service call fee based on your target profit margin
- What every callback actually costs you
You will need your overhead, fully burdened tech labor, vehicle costs, and completed call count for a recent period. Twelve months gives the most accurate picture, but any period works.
Pricing Comparison
Callback Cost Impact
Every callback costs your business $0 in additional expenses. That is one more service call's worth of cost, effectively doubling what that job cost you.
If you have 10 callbacks per month, that is an additional $0 in costs your pricing has to cover.
Flat rate is how you package pricing for the customer. Cost per billable hour is the internal math that tells you what one productive technician hour costs your business. Use it to check whether a flat-rate repair price covers time and overhead before profit.
Quick check: if a repair takes 1.5 hours total and your cost per billable hour is $120, that repair has to bring in at least $180 just to break even, before parts.
What This Means for Your Business
Flat rate friendly. Cost per billable hour is an internal benchmark for validating job pricing, not a recommendation to charge hourly.
