Choose reliable inputs
Plan materials, travel and crew time before committing to a price. For this irrigation service calculation, use a completed job sheet, supplier quotes and a crew schedule and a consistent definition of one service visit.
- Fittings: include the portion belonging to this service visit or reporting period, and record where the value came from.
- Troubleshooting: include the portion belonging to this service visit or reporting period, and record where the value came from.
- Site access: include the portion belonging to this service visit or reporting period, and record where the value came from.
Use the same currency for every money input. Do not mix weekly costs with monthly revenue, or count the same expense in both an itemised cost and allocated overhead.
Does raising prices always raise revenue?
A sufficient volume decline can offset the higher price. Compare contribution as well as revenue before deciding.
Volume loss is your assumption, not a demand forecast; costs are excluded.
What if this input changes?
If current price rises by 10%, this example changes by 2,090 per month. This shows the effect of one change; it does not predict what will happen.
Open the calculator, save your baseline, then change the input supported by the least reliable estimate in your records. Compare both scenarios before committing to a price or capacity promise.
