PrycebookWhat does your truck cost per billable hour?
Enter what the truck costs each month and how many hours a month it earns money. You get the monthly total and the cost to carry on every billable hour.
Your truck cost shows up here
Fill in the monthly costs and the billable hours, then press Calculate. The page address keeps your numbers, so you can bookmark it or send it to a partner.
Why the truck belongs in your rate
It costs money whether or not it is out on a job.
Count every monthly cost
Payment or lease, insurance, fuel and maintenance, plus anything else the truck needs: registration, tolls, parking, tires, branding. Spread yearly bills over twelve months.
Use billable hours
Divide by the hours the truck is on a job you bill, not every hour it is parked. Fewer billable hours means each one has to carry more of the truck.
Put it in your rate
The cost per billable hour is overhead. It goes on top of wages when you work out what to charge, so a truck that sits idle doesn't come out of your profit.
