This handy tool helps you work out the cost of each job. From labour and material costs to travel time and GST, it’s all covered. And best of all, it shows you how much profit you’re making on every wrap. Whether you’re quoting full vehicle wraps, decals, paint protection film, or tint, this tool gives you control over your pricing and helps you stay competitive without undercharging.

What Can You Calculate?

Labour Cost to Business per Hour

This is what you pay your staff per hour (e.g.) $30.

Labour Rate to Customer per Hour

This is what you charge the customer per hour. This price must cover your expenses like super, insurance, downtime etc. as you mentioned above. If you don't know, just multiply what the staff is paid by 3.

Material Costs

Everything you'll need to buy to complete the job. For things you use regularly, you could just work out the lifetime value of a product per day and this will cover it. Or add on a flat rate like $30-50 to cover wear and tear so you have a buffer for future replacements.

Mark-Up

Know how much other people are charging in your area to see where you sit in terms of pricing.

Production Time

This is often not included when quoting but needs to be factored in. This is where you mock-up design time and file prep comes in.

Install Time

Start keeping track of install times so you have got a good estimated time for each job in the future.

Travel Time

On the road again? Don’t forget to bill for time and fuel spent driving to the job. It’s all money out of your pocket.

GST

If earning under $75K per year you don't need to register for GST but it might make sense to be able to claim 10% back on all your purchases.
