Being Busy Does Not Mean You're Profitable. Fix Your Charge Out Rates Today.

 

Most tradies undervalue their work and lose money without even realising it.

In this short course, you’ll get three charge out rate calculators (Labour, Machinery, and Vehicle) and a step-by-step walkthrough on how to plug them into your business so you’re actually covering the real cost of your employees, vehicles, and machinery.

These calculators provide Software-ready outputs. You can copy/paste them directly into Fergus, simPRO, AroFlo, and ServiceM8—no re-typing.

In this step-by-step course,
you’ll learn how to:

  • Labour Rate Calculator – find your real hourly cost (allowing for employee leave, downtime, admin, overheads) so that you can correctly set your charge out rates.

  • Vehicle Rate Calculator – price your travel costs vans/utes properly (accounting for ownership + running costs) so that you don't lose money on your vehicles.

  • Machinery/Plant Rate Calculator – stop silent margin loss on diggers and the like. This calculator also tells you the crossover point when buying you're own equipment is better than hiring.

  • Mini-Course (45–60 min) – we show you step-by-step how to use the calculators + where and how to add the outputs in your software ( We currently show you how to do this in Fergus, simPRO, AroFlo, ServiceM8).

  • Copy/Paste Outputs – formatted for Fergus, simPRO, AroFlo, ServiceM8.

  • Target-Margin Guardrails – price to a margin, not a guess.

  • Update-Ready – easily refresh inputs when fuel/wages move; keep rates current.

Why This Course (vs Free Downloads)

 

Most "free" calculators oversimplify the process, meaning you actually have to do a heap of work outside of the calculator to get accurate results, or risk leaving money on the table.

Additionally, they provide generic outputs that you then have to guess where to put the value in your software.

This pack provides you with the number, the process, and the implementation tailored to your software:

✅ Three calculators — Labour • Machinery • Vehicle (so nothing is missed)

✅ Software-ready outputs — copy/paste into Fergus, simPRO, AroFlo, ServiceM8

✅ Mini-course — exactly where to add the numbers + checks/guardrails to keep them accurate

✅ Target-margin pricing — price to a margin, not a guess

✅ Update-ready — refresh inputs when fuel/wages move, keep quoting with confidence

How It Works (in 4 easy steps)

Step 1:

Enter your inputs – wages, on-costs, overheads, machine/vehicle data.

Step 2:

Calculate & check – guardrails flag common errors; set a target margin.

Step 3:

Copy & paste – drop the outputs into Fergus, simPRO, AroFlo, ServiceM8 (we show where).

Step 4:

Update – costs move; so can your rates. Refresh in minutes.

 

We walk you through everything in our over-the-shoulder training.

Who This Is For

  • Owners who are flat-out but underpaid—the work’s there, the profit isn’t.

  • Estimators/PMs sick of guessing and being told to “sharpen it” without having a true handle on their costs.

  • Teams watching fuel, wages and insurance climb while rates stay stuck.

  • Businesses losing margin to vans and gear because recovery isn’t priced properly.

  • Anyone tired of working 60+ hours and having too little left at month-end.

What you’ll get: the true cost of your labour, vehicles, and machinery, giving you confidence in your charge out rates, knowing you're not leaving money on the table. Or worse. Losing money every hour your team works.

"I had no idea how much I was underpricing jobs until I took this course. I used to just guess or copy what others were charging, but now I actually understand my numbers and can confidently quote without stressing about losing money. The way they break it down step by step makes it so easy to follow, and I could apply everything to my own business straight away. If you're serious about getting your pricing right, this course is a no-brainer."
