How the example works out
Return per hour = (job price − direct job costs) ÷ total hours. Prices and costs are ex GST if you're registered for GST.
What's left pays for your time, your overheads and your business profit.
In Trackexa this is called profit per hour.
An estimate based on the costs and hours entered. It's before overheads, income tax and super, so it isn't take-home pay. A guide only, not tax or financial advice.
