The “Profit Per Hour” Test How Much Are You Really Making Per Hour?
Every job may look profitable on paper — but what’s your real profit per hour?
If you’re netting $3,000 on a job that takes 40 crew hours… that’s $75/hr. But if another job nets $2,000 in just 10 hours, that’s $200/hr.
Which one is better?
Your goal isn’t just to make money. It’s to make money efficiently. The best contractors track profit per hour — not just per job.
This lets you prioritize the most productive, high-margin work and stop wasting time on low-yield jobs.
Real World Mistake & Lesson:
