What one billable hour produces
Service pricing
Build fixed prices from billed labor and marked-up hardware, then use annual job quantities to test the business model. Override a price only when you have a deliberate reason.
Global labor rates
These rates apply to every service. The owner labor reserve values your time for scalable pricing but is added back when calculating cash available for owner and wife compensation.
How the suggested price works
The owner labor reserve is not a current cash expense. It values your field time so the fully loaded margin stays viable if someone eventually replaces you. Financial cash flow adds that reserve back before comparing the result with your household compensation target.
