Work out the billable hourly rate your contracting business actually needs to charge. Enter your target salary, overhead, and realistic billable hours to see a defensible number you can quote with confidence.
EstiDash blends your annual salary target with business overhead and divides by total billable hours per year. The result is the rate you must charge to cover real costs and earn the income you want.
Many trade pros price against competitors instead of math. Once unbillable time, vehicle costs, insurance, and tools are accounted for, true breakeven is far higher than typical street rates.
Plug the calculated rate into the EstiDash project estimator and margin tool so every bid reflects what your time is genuinely worth.
