How it works

Contribution per job = price − variable cost (materials, labor paid per job, fuel, fees). Break-even jobs = fixed costs ÷ contribution, rounded up. Example: $4,000 fixed ÷ ($900 − $500) = 10 jobs a month. Fixed costs include insurance, software, vehicle payments, rent and any salary you pay yourself.
