Worked example: two detailers at $25 an hour sharing $40,000 of overhead
Two detailers at $25 an hour sharing $40,000 of overhead, on the free labor rate calculator, comes to $59.59 ($50.65 just to break even).
| Step | The math |
|---|---|
| Paid hours a year | 40 hrs × 52 weeks = 2,080 hrs |
| Hours at work | 2,080 − 10 days off × 8 hrs = 2,000 hrs |
| Billable share of a day | (8 − 2 unbilled) ÷ 8 = 75% |
| Billable hours a year | 2,000 × 75% = 1,500 hrs per tech, 3,000 in all |
| Labor cost a year | 2 × $25.00 × 2,080 hrs × (1 + 7.65% + 0%) = $111,956 |
| Break-even rate | ($111,956 labor + $40,000 overhead) ÷ 3,000 billable hrs = $50.65 |
Spread over 3,000 billable hours a year, QuoteIQ Pro at $2,000 a year adds $0.67 to every billable hour. Koira Office adds nothing, since it is free.
