This is a business planning estimate, not an industry price benchmark. Confirm taxes, insurance, licenses, materials and your real hourly cost. Customer quotes should describe scope and exclusions.

Why a 20-minute repair can require a higher service-call minimum

A small repair still requires travel, vehicle expenses, scheduling and administration. VisitFloor combines round-trip drive time with on-site labor, materials and overhead, then calculates a minimum price using your chosen margin. It also compares that price with the minimum you already advertise.

For example, if a job requires 45 minutes of driving and 40 minutes on site, charging only for the on-site minutes may understate the visit's cost. Enter your own numbers; this tool does not recommend market rates or guarantee profitability. The customer-facing quote intentionally avoids exposing internal hourly compensation or markup. Check licensing, tax and warranty obligations separately before accepting work.

Important limits & notes

Cost and margin are assumptions, not market rates; taxes and unforeseen scope must be confirmed separately.
