Flat rate prices, built from your costs.
Hours, labor, overhead, materials and target margin in. One customer price out.
A flat rate price covers the expected labor hours at your burdened labor and overhead cost per hour, plus materials, divided by one minus your target margin. The customer sees one price before work starts, and you carry the risk if the job runs long.
How do you build a flat rate price?
Add the expected labor hours at your burdened labor rate and overhead per hour, add materials, then divide by one minus your target margin. The customer sees one price before work starts, and you carry the risk if the job runs long.
- Burdened labor includes payroll taxes, insurance and benefits
- Overhead per hour spreads rent, trucks and the office over billable hours
- Price common tasks flat; diagnose unknowns first

Flat rate or time and materials?
