Each service can be broken down into the respective totals for
each reference area. The desired profit you want to attain for
your business will come from labor. The employee charge is made
up of the percentages dictated by desired profit. When your
employees bill out the hours based on their production %, they
will cover all their employee costs, their portion of non
billable labor (7.3%) their portion of overhead (9.03%) and will
have produced their portion of profit (10%).

The total service fee is the price you should charge for this service.
The current fee you charge for this service is reflected in
the current charge. The difference will show whether you
have guessed right or wrong on your fees based on the profit
you want to achieve.
Any charge for equipment used on the job or service
should be seen as additional income over and above the
desired profit. Each equipment charge can be broken down
into a replacement charge, a supply and maintenance charge,
and profit. An account should be set up to receive the
replacement charge for equipment. This account will build up
funds for future equipment purchases. The supply and
maintenance charge will offset the overhead incurred and
will lower your overhead. Any return on investment or profit
placed on maintenance and supplies should be regarded as
additional income over and above the desired profit.
Any charge for inventory used on the job or service will
offset the cost of inventory purchased. Any markup placed on
inventory should be seen as additional income over and above
the desired profit.
Any charge for outside services used on the job or
service will offset the charge for the outside service. Any
markup placed on the outside service should be seen as
additional income over and above the desired profit.
Profit solver will project prices based on any desired
profit. When the desired profit is changed, the percentages
will change that apply to the employee charge. If profit is
changed to 14% then these percents will be applied to
employee charge.

Profit Solver will project prices based on changes to wages, changes to
benefits, changes to non billable employee costs, changes to
overhead, and changes to production. Each change made will
ultimately get reflected in the billable employee percent of each
dollar charged out in labor.
Example of a change in overhead: If overhead increased $1000, and
you want to maintain a 14% profit, the percentages will change that
apply to overhead and the billable employee labor %.

Example of a change in increase benefits: If benefits increase $1000,
and you want to maintain a 14% profit, the labor rate will change for
that employee and gets reflected in the billable employee labor %.
