Enter your wages, overhead and the hours your techs actually bill. See your break-even rate and the rate that gets you the profit you want.
Break-even covers wages and overhead with no profit. Your parts markup adds profit on top, so this is a safe floor for your labour rate.
Moibay tracks every tech’s hours on each job and shows your labour, parts and profit in plain numbers, so you can see if your rate is working.
Monthly tech wages (including payroll extras) plus monthly overhead, divided by the hours your techs bill in a month, gives your break-even rate. That is then marked up so the profit you want is left over.
You pay techs for every hour they are at work, but you only earn on the hours you charge customers. Waiting for parts, comebacks and shop cleanup are paid but not billed, so billed hours are always lower.
No. The rate covers your costs from labour alone, so it is a safe floor. Profit from parts comes on top.
Efficiency is billed hours divided by paid hours. The higher the better: every paid hour that is not billed has to be covered by a higher rate.
