Tradie Business

Are you charging enough? Most tradies aren’t

If you’re like most tradies running a crew, you’ve probably wondered if your labour rates are actually covering the cost of the job, let alone turning a profit.

It’s not just about paying wages.

Between super, workers comp, downtime, tax, and admin overheads, the real cost of labour adds up fast.

If you’re charging labour rates plus a mark-up thinking you’re making bank, you might be breaking even at best.

We’ve seen it time and time again: good operators underquoting and wondering why they aren’t making a good profit on a job.

That’s why the team at NextMinute has put together a free Labour Charge-Out Rate Calculator to help Aussie tradies work out the right hourly rates to keep their business healthy and profitable.

They’ve also put together a short webinar breaking it all down — what to include in your charge-out rate, the difference between markup and margin, and why quoting by the day (not the hour) could save your backside more than once.

This isn’t just for new businesses – even experienced builders are blown away by how much they’ve been missing.
