What's Your Actual Hourly Rate?

Every contractor does this math wrong. They count billable hours but forget:

• Drive time to supply stores
• Permit office visits
• Estimate preparation time
• Client meetings and changes
• Invoicing and paperwork
• Callbacks and punch lists

If you don't know your real hourly rate, you can't:

• Price jobs for actual profit
• Understand why you're always broke despite high revenue
• Make smart decisions about scaling your business
• Transition to building real wealth

Then there's overhead. Your truck payment, insurance, tools, and business expenses eat into your profit every hour you work. Factor in the real costs, and your "good" hourly rate becomes minimum wage.

If your real hourly rate is $15-25/hour:You're making less than many employees while taking all the business risk. This explains why contractors work harder but stay broke.

If your real hourly rate is $25-40/hour:You're doing better than most contractors, but you're still trading time for money with no way to scale beyond your personal hours.

If your real hourly rate is $40+/hour:You're in the top 10% of contractors. You understand true costs and price accordingly. You're ready to transition from selling hours to building wealth.

"I calculated my last three jobs using this method. I made $43K total. My clients made $187K in equity. I'm done building wealth for other people." - Mike R., General Contractor

"My 'profitable' kitchen renovation paid me $31/hour when I included all the real hours. The homeowner made $15K for owning the house. That was my wake-up call." - Sarah T., Renovation Specialist
