Check if this price pays back my setup

From job costs to a clear price

Add hands-on time and support time, multiply by your hourly pay target, then add materials, travel, overhead, and any add-on charge. Divide that subtotal by one minus the payment fee rate.

For mobile detailing, add drive, setup, and teardown time to support hours. Put the fuel and vehicle cost of the trip in the travel allowance.

A worked example

Four total hours at $50 per hour, $18 in materials, $12 in travel, and a 3% card fee give a $237.11 minimum price. Rounded up, that is $238 before tax. These are example inputs, not market rates.

A menu lists the services customers can choose. A quote lists the work and price for one customer. Confirm the vehicle condition and any applicable tax before agreeing a final price.

After the job, bill the same services with the invoice and receipt maker. It adds any work the customer approved during the job, records the deposit, and shows the balance due.
