The task:
Look in the toilet service section of your UpFrontPrice.com price book and enter the value rate of task number PPTR125.

Deployment Cost:
The calculator should show you the cost of "Deployment" (break even labor cost) that was used in calculating your price book. If the calculated number is different from your task break down book it may be because we've updated materials costs since the printing of your price book.

Production:
UpFrontPrice.com price books are based upon about 20 sold "Deployment" units per week (actually, 1,000 per year). You shouldn't need to change this budget number but you can if you want to.
Trucks:
Enter the number of service trucks you have on the road. Use decimals for portions of trucks. Example: If you have one full time plumber plus you take care of a few calls too, your number of trucks may be 1.5.

Estimated Sales:
Obviously, you don't exclusively sell tank rebuilds but we have to start somewhere. We picked this toilet repair task because it uses an average amount of parts, not too many, not too few. It should provide at least a reasonable sales projection for the purpose of estimating the impact of your price increase.

Budget Increase:
Over the years, your costs have been creeping up. Fuel, insurance and wages are making a significant impact on your cost of doing business. Estimate how much your cost per Deployment unit has increased over the years and enter it here. You can try the calculator with several numbers in order to get a feel for the impact on your business and your customers.

If you don't use the UpFrontPrice.com price book this calculator probably won't work for you but if you want to try it, you can enter your price for a standard tank rebuild using a plastic refill valve, flush valve and a tank to bowl bolt set. The labor allocation for this task should be up to an hour on the clock)
