Break-even price calculator
Check a single service against the hourly pay you want. One price, not a whole menu.
Break-even = (materials + overhead share + target pay) ÷ (1 − card %). Suggested adds the profit goal and rounds up to the next $5.
Numbers stay in this browser. This is shop math, not tax, legal, or lending advice.

- Cash gapProfit on paper still bounces a check if materials go out before the final payment comes in. This is a four-week sketch of that gap.
- Change orderScope that shows up after you start needs its own number before anyone keeps working. This prices the extra. It does not write the customer text.
- Weekly capacityA full calendar is not the same as a full week of paid hours. Drive time counts. This does not track which jobs are already booked.
