Hourly Cost Calculator
What one hour of your business actually costs to run.
- Overhead per billable hour
- $50
- Billable hours per year
- 3,588
What this assumes
- Overheads are annual and spread evenly across the working year.
Why this number matters
Every hour the doors are open costs money whether or not anybody is on a job. Knowing that number is what turns "we were busy" into "we were profitable", and it is the floor no quote should ever go below.
How it is worked out
- Billable hours per year = people × working weeks × billable hours per week
- Overhead per billable hour = annual overhead ÷ billable hours per year
