What did that job actually pay you per hour?

The invoice says one number. Your effective hourly rate — after materials, drive time, and mileage — is another. Run a job through this and see the real one.

Load an example, or punch in your own job

Labor + parts + everything on the invoice, before the trip charge.
If it's already in the invoice total, leave this at 0 — don't count it twice.
Round trip — plus the supply run you made mid-job.
What YOU paid — not what you billed for them.
Round trip, supply runs included.
Default is the 2026 IRS rate ($0.725/mi) — fuel, wear, and depreciation on the truck.
Permit, helper's pay, dump fee, rented equipment, blade you burned up.
