BUSY DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN PROFITABLE

01

You’re working.

Jobs are booked.

02

Customers are paying.

Money is coming in.

03

But what’s actually left?

Did that $425 call make $200, $80—or almost nothing?

Revenue isn’t profit. And your wage isn’t your labor cost.

TRY IT WITH YOUR NUMBERS

What does one billable hour actually cost you?

Change any assumption. The result updates instantly—because the right rate starts with your business, not somebody else’s price book.

Why billable hours matter

Driving, quoting, supply runs, callbacks and admin consume time customers don’t directly pay for.

What counts as overhead?

Business costs that support the work but are not directly purchased for one specific job—such as trucks, insurance, licensing, tools and office expenses.

Annual costs ÷ billable hours = break-even rateBreak-even rate ÷ (1 − target margin) = target billing rate

Example values are for demonstration only. Your results are calculated from the business costs and assumptions you enter.

THE AHA MOMENT

How does $125.00 an hour compare?

Your current rate may be below break-even, profitable but short of your target, or fully aligned with it. The result should follow your numbers—not a scare tactic.

Your current rate
Your break-even$127.60/hr
Your target rate$159.50/hr

This rate does not recover the costs you entered.It is $2.60 below your calculated break-even rate.

FROM HOURLY COST TO JOB PRICE

Turn your costs into flat-rate pricing.

Build a service price from the work you expect—not a generic market average.

THE DIFFERENCE

Most pricing calculators stop here.

This one gets smarter after the job.

PRICING INSIGHTYour last 5 ceiling-fan installations averaged 2.05 labor hours.

Your current pricing assumption is 1.5 hours. Repeated completed-job information could improve the next price.

YOUR DATA, YOUR ADVANTAGE

Your business becomes your pricing database.

The goal isn’t to tell every electrician what electricians should charge. It is to help each electrical business understand what its own work actually costs and improve pricing from its own completed jobs.

A PRACTICAL STARTING POINT

Start with familiar services. Make every assumption yours.

You control the labor, materials and pricing assumptions. The library gives you structure—not universal electrical prices.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Is this estimating software?+

Not in the traditional sense. It focuses specifically on pricing and profitability—not CRM, scheduling, dispatch or blueprint takeoff.

Does it tell me what electricians in my area charge?+

No. It works from your costs, overhead, labor and desired margin rather than claiming there is one correct market price.

Does it include common electrical services?+

Yes. The Alpha includes starter electrical structure while letting every business customize assumptions and create its own services.

Is the Alpha free?+

Yes. Pricing Profit is free to test during Alpha. No payment is being collected.

Can I use it on my phone?+

Yes. Mobile use is a hard product requirement.

Is the product finished?+

No. The working Alpha is an early version being tested with small electrical contractors.
