Estimate the labor hours, multiply by what an hour of labor costs you (wage plus payroll taxes and workers comp), add materials and permit, then divide by (1 − your margin). A flat hourly rate rarely covers drive time, estimates and callbacks.
Voltage drop rule of thumb
Keep branch-circuit voltage drop around 3% or less. For long runs, step up the wire size and re-check.
FAQ
How much do electricians charge per hour?
It varies widely by region and license level. Work from your own costs and margin rather than a market average.
Should I charge a service call fee?
Most electricians do, so that small jobs still cover the drive and diagnosis time.
