Company Overhead Cost Wizard

Let's discuss an important aspect of your business - your true overhead costs. It's crucial to have a clear understanding of this, as it directly impacts your profitability.

In simple terms, overhead refers to the expenses you need to cover in order to keep your business running smoothly, even when there's no one actively working on projects. It encompasses everything except material costs, labor expenses, and job-specific expenditures. This includes office expenses, salaries, sales costs, office equipment, and vehicles, among others.

For electrical contractors like yourself, overhead typically ranges between 13% and 20% of total sales. Interestingly, smaller contractors tend to have higher overhead percentages, while larger contractors generally have lower percentages. However, it's important to note that these figures are just averages. Every company is unique, and your overhead percentages may vary depending on your specific line of work, business practices, and accounting period.

The key is to keep your overhead at the minimum necessary to ensure your field workers operate at maximum efficiency. There's no one-size-fits-all "correct" percentage that applies to everyone.

Understanding your true overhead costs is vital for making informed decisions about pricing, budgeting, and overall financial management. It allows you to have a clear picture of your business's financial health and helps you strategize for growth and profitability.
