Minimum service charge calculator

Find the least to charge for any job, from your drive time, setup and cleanup time, hourly rate and the cost of each trip.

How it works

Every job costs you the drive there and back and the time to set up and clean up, before any work is done.

The minimum charge is the drive time plus the setup and cleanup time, in minutes, divided by 60, times your hourly rate, plus the vehicle cost for the trip.

Time spent on the work itself is not in this figure. It comes on top.

This is arithmetic on the numbers you enter. It is not tax, legal or financial advice.
