To price services for consistent profit, first calculate your fully loaded cost per job, including labor, materials, equipment depreciation, insurance, marketing, and vehicle expenses. Then apply a 40 to 60 percent gross margin to ensure overhead is covered and profit remains. Avoid hourly billing. Instead, offer fixed-price packages based on scope of work. Regularly review and adjust rates based on market conditions and actual job costs. This disciplined approach protects margins while delivering clear value to clients.
