Your charge-out rate is what you charge per hour of labour — not what you pay yourself. It has to cover the worker’s wage, a share of overheads (vehicle, insurance, tools, admin) and a profit margin, spread across the hours you can actually bill. Pricing off your wage alone is the classic way to go broke while busy.
