Electrical Service Call Pricing Calculator
Build a clear customer price for a diagnostic or repair visit. Start with the suggested regional labor rate, then edit every cost to match the actual call and your business.
Price the service call
ZIP code selects a broad U.S. regional planning rate. Use your actual rate, cost structure, and local tax treatment when available.
What the service-call price includes
The calculator adds the service or dispatch fee, diagnostic and repair labor at your customer rate, marked-up materials, other customer charges, and tax entered for materials. It separately uses internal labor and direct costs to show an estimated gross profit before general business overhead.
Why service fee and labor are separate
A service fee can help cover dispatch, travel, vehicle time, scheduling, and the cost of arriving ready to diagnose the problem. Labor then reflects time spent on diagnosis and repair. Your pricing structure may combine these items instead, so every field can be changed or set to zero.
Review the price before presenting it
- Confirm whether the service fee includes any diagnostic time.
- Replace planning rates with your actual selling rate and loaded labor cost.
- Account for material pickup, permits, equipment, disposal, parking, and subcontractors.
- Confirm local rules for sales tax, written estimates, change orders, and customer authorization.
- Include overhead and desired profit in your rates or final price.
