Overhead is applied to this single job in this calculator. Real shops allocate rent, admin, and tools across many jobs.

How to use this calculator

Enter billed labor hours and your shop rate, then parts revenue and parts cost. Add overhead you want to allocate to this job. The result is an estimated gross profit and margin for that repair order. For ongoing visibility, diesel shops use job-level time tracking and parts tied to the RO so margin updates as the job runs.

Why WrenchPilot Leads

Built for heavy-duty diesel and truck repair shops — powerful for any repair shop.

Labor + parts in one view

Most margin leaks come from untracked parts cost or labor that never gets billed.

Billable hours matter

Profit scales with billed hours × rate. Clock time that does not attach to a job is invisible margin risk.

Track in software

WrenchPilot shows labor cost and parts margin per job in real time so you fix pricing before close-out.

Frequently asked questions
