Free True Hourly Rate Calculator for Canadian Handymen
Is your hourly rate actually paying you?
Put in your real costs (truck, insurance, WCB, tools, both halves of CPP, a tax set-aside) and the hours you can't bill for (driving, quoting, buying materials, paperwork). This free calculator shows you:
• Your break-even rate: the least you can charge without losing money
• A recommended rate based on the profit you want
• What $40/hr really earns you once your costs come out
Works in Excel and Google Sheets. No macros.
Built by a working carpenter who needed the answer for his own business.
Example numbers are illustrative. Enter your own. This is a planning tool, not tax or financial advice.
