Range

- keeps that if 1 in 5 of your billable hours goes unbooked.
The formula, with your numbers
Each price is rounded up to the next whole dollar.
What it assumes
- Every billable hour you set gets booked. The top of the range allows for 1 in 5 going unbooked.
- Your monthly costs and pay are shared evenly across those hours.
- Taxes aren't included, so set your pay before tax.
- It comes from your own numbers. It isn't a market price, so compare it with what clients in your area pay.

Questions, answered.
Should SUVs and trucks cost more?
When they take longer or use more product, yes. Enter their minutes and supplies to price each size.
Where does driving time go?
Leave it out of your billable hours, so it's shared across the hours you're paid for. Put fuel, your van and its insurance in monthly costs.
Is this what detailers near me charge?
No. It's the price your own numbers need, not a market price. Compare it with what clients in your area pay, then decide.
