Business Tools & Calculators for Electrical Contractors
Practical calculators for the numbers that decide whether an electrical company makes money.
Each tool is built around how electrical contractors actually operate — hourly field labor, burden, truck costs, overhead recovery and target profit. New calculators are added as they are completed.
The calculators answer one question each. If you want to see how labor rate, overhead, markup, job costing and break-even fit together, start with pricing and profitability fundamentals and use the tools as you work through it. Once the numbers are in front of you, you can decide what to fix next in the business.
