Worked example: a new solo shop paying itself $27 an hour with $60,000 of overhead
A new solo shop paying itself $27 an hour with $60,000 of overhead, on the free electrician labor rate calculator, comes to $94.48 ($80.30 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 electrician, 1,500 in all |
| Labor cost a year | 1 × $27.00 × 2,080 hrs × (1 + 7.65% + 0%) = $60,456 |
| Break-even rate | ($60,456 labor + $60,000 overhead) ÷ 1,500 billable hrs = $80.30 |
Spread over 1,500 billable hours a year, QuoteIQ Pro at $2,000 a year adds $1.33 to every billable hour. Koira Grow adds $1.99 an hour.
