Tradie Charge Rate Template
Tradie Charge Rate Template
Steps to Calculate Your Hourly Rate:
Calculate Your Annual Overheads:
- List all fixed and variable expenses necessary to operate your business, such as rent, utilities, insurance, and administrative costs.
Determine Your Desired Annual Income:
- Decide on the annual salary you aim to earn, reflecting your skills, experience, and industry standards.
Estimate Billable Hours:
- Calculate the number of hours you can realistically bill clients each year, accounting for holidays, sick leave, and non-billable activities like marketing and administration.
Compute Your Base Hourly Rate:
- Use the formula: Base Hourly Rate=Annual Overheads+Desired Annual IncomeBillable Hours\text{Base Hourly Rate} = \frac{\text{Annual Overheads} + \text{Desired Annual Income}}{\text{Billable Hours}}
Add a Profit Margin:
- Incorporate a profit margin to ensure business growth and sustainability. A common practice is to add a minimum of 10% to your base rate.
Benefits of Using the Business Plan Template:
Consider Bob, a plumber aiming to determine his hourly rate:
- Annual Overheads: $50,000
- Desired Annual Income: $100,000
- Billable Hours: 1,500 hours per year
Calculating the base hourly rate:
Base Hourly Rate=
($50,000+$100,000)/1,500
=$100
Adding a 15% profit margin:
$100×1.15=$115
Therefore, Bob’s hourly rate would be $115.
Additional Considerations:
Call-Out Fees: Implement a fixed call-out fee to cover travel and initial assessment time. For instance, Bob charges a call-out fee that includes the first 15 minutes of work.
After-Hours Rates: Apply higher rates for services rendered outside standard working hours. Bob, for example, adds a 15% surcharge for weekend and evening work, resulting in an hourly rate of $120 during these times.
Regularly reviewing and adjusting your rates in line with market trends and business expenses is essential to maintain competitiveness and profitability.
