Frequently Asked Questions

What profit margin should contractors aim for?

Most successful trades businesses target 35-50% gross margin on labor and 25-40% on materials. Net profit after overhead should be 10-20%. Our calculators help you hit these targets consistently.

How do I calculate my truck roll cost?

Include fuel, vehicle depreciation, insurance, maintenance, and the technician's time. For most service businesses, true truck roll cost is $50-150 per trip. Our calculator breaks it down for your specific situation.

How much should I charge for emergency calls?

Emergency and after-hours rates typically run 1.5x to 2x standard rates. Our rush fee calculator helps you set premiums that cover your costs while remaining competitive.

When should I hire another technician?

Consider hiring when you're consistently at 80%+ capacity and turning away work. Our capacity calculator shows your revenue ceiling and the hiring trigger point.
