Worked example: a quarterly plan for a larger home
A quarterly plan for a larger home: an hour on site and $20 of product a visit, on the free maintenance plan pricing calculator, comes to $360 a year ($30.00 a month, 4 visits).
| Step | The math |
|---|---|
| Labor per visit | (1 on site + 0.5 driving) × $26.00 = $39.00 |
| Cost per visit | $39.00 + $20.00 parts = $59.00 |
| Repair discount | 0% off $0 of repairs = $0.00 |
| Cost per member a year | 4 × $59.00 + $0.00 = $236.00 |
| Price | $236.00 ÷ (1 − 15% overhead − 20% profit) = $363.08, quoted as $360 |
| Members one tech can serve | 1,500 hrs ÷ 6 hrs per member = 250 |
At $360 a member a year, it takes about 10 plan members to pay for a year of Housecall Pro Max ($3,588). Koira Front Office ($5,988 a year) takes about 17.
