Enter your monthly overhead (fixed costs) and the profit you want to take home. The calculator divides by your billable hours to show the hourly rate you need, and by your average job length to show the per-job price.
The #1 pricing mistake is forgetting overhead. If your truck, insurance, and tools cost $6,000/month, you need to earn that back before you see a dollar of profit. This calculator makes that visible.
Price from reality, not from what competitors seem to charge.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate monthly overhead?
Add up: vehicle payments + fuel + insurance + rent + subscriptions + phone + loan payments + any other fixed monthly cost. Do not include your own pay — that is the profit number.
What if I do flat-rate jobs?
Enter your average job duration and the calculator converts the hourly target into a per-job price. Flat-rate pricing is often more profitable because efficiency gains go to you, not the customer.
How many billable hours is realistic?
Most solo field techs can bill 100-140 hours/month. The rest goes to drive time, admin, and callbacks.
