Knowing how much to charge starts with understanding your costs. (labor, materials, equipment, fuel, insurance, software, and overhead) and building your prices to cover those costs plus a target profit margin typically 15–30%. You should also research local competitors to understand the market, but don’t compete on price alone, compete on value, quality, and experience. Use production rates to ensure jobs are profitable, and always price based on the outcome, not just the task. Bundling services, offering tiered packages, and clearly communicating the benefits of your work all increase perceived value. You should also, track job times, profitability, and customer feedback to continuously refine your pricing and stay aligned with your financial goals.
