Flat-Rate Pricing Calculator
$47
Most small shops set prices by checking what the shop down the road charges, or by adding a bit on top of what they pay a tech. The phone rings, the trucks roll, everyone stays busy, and somehow there's still not much left at the end of the year.
This calculator starts with your own numbers: what your techs really cost once taxes, comp, and benefits are added, how many hours they can actually bill, and what it takes to keep the doors open. Then it turns all of that into a flat price for every job, with your profit built in.
What's inside:
Your break-even cost per billable hour, and the hourly rate you need to hit your profit target (done with margin math, so 15% profit really means 15%)
True tech cost: wage plus payroll taxes, workers' comp, benefits, and paid time off
Billable hours, counted honestly: drive time, callbacks, and shop time come out first
A line-by-line overhead sheet: trucks, insurance, rent, advertising, and a real salary for you
Parts markup tiers, so small parts and big equipment each carry their own markup
A Price Book with 25 example plumbing and HVAC jobs (plus room for your own), each with a flat price that updates when your numbers change
Price a Job: quote one job, adjust the hours or parts, and get a margin check that warns you when a price drops below your target
Raise Check: see what a 5% or 10% price change does to your profit, compared with chasing more jobs
Example numbers checked against public wage and industry data, with every source listed in the file
You get: A spreadsheet calculator that works in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers. Instant download. Built for plumbing & HVAC service businesses.
This calculator is a pricing tool, not accounting, tax, or legal advice. All numbers are examples; replace them with your own.
