Break-even pricing breaks fast when the inputs are wrong.

If your labour, COGS, or owner wage is off, the number looks neat and the business still feels tight. That’s how people end up quoting too low and wondering why the work never leaves enough room.

Use real assumptions first, then set your price from there.

🚗 Heads up if you use your personal car for work!

The ATO has officially announced an increase to the cents per kilometre deduction rate for car expenses. Starting July 1, 2026, the new rate is set at 91 cents per kilometre for the 2026–2027 income year.

If you’re regularly traveling between jobs, attending client meetings, or running work errands, those trips add up fast. Using the cents per kilometre method allows you to claim up to a maximum of 5,000 work-related kilometres per car, meaning this rate bump could translate to a much better return at tax time.

What you need to do:

Update your mileage tracking apps or logbooks so you don't miss a single trip.

Remember that daily commutes from home to your regular workplace generally don't count, but traveling between two separate jobs does!

Touch base with your accountant to ensure you're maximizing your eligible motor vehicle deductions.

Most launch plans fail before they start.

They chase pricing before they can prove the numbers add up.

If you do not know your costs, margins, and break-even point, your launch price is just a guess with confidence attached.

Build the model first. Then set the price.

Most new businesses price off the launch plan first, then find the numbers do not support it.

Loaded labour cost and monthly breakeven should shape the price, not the other way around. If those two figures are off, your quote can look fine on paper and still leave you short.

That is why we start with the real cost to run the job, then work back to a price that actually makes sense.
