Pricing insight

Ceiling fan labor is running 37% over the current estimate.

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.

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.

  • Personally price or approve service work
  • Wonder whether overhead is fully recovered
  • Want better pricing intelligence without replacing everything

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

Does it include common electrical services?+

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

Is the $79 recurring?+

No. The Founding Edition is a one-time $79 purchase.

Yes. Pricing Profit is designed to work on phones, tablets and desktop computers.
