Why do handymen lose money on small jobs?

Direct answer: Stop losing money on small jobs by pricing travel, setup, and admin time into your minimum.

Practical steps

• Account for travel: Fuel and drive time count as billable cost.
• Include setup time: Loading, unloading, and prep matter.
• Protect the floor: Set a minimum that covers the day.

Next step: Recalculate your minimum so the worst job still pays.
