What should electricians consider when pricing a job?
A useful electrician pricing template starts with your own job costs. Check labour and apprentice time; materials, switchgear, cable and consumables; travel, call-out time and supplier trips; testing and waste disposal; access difficulty and equipment hire; and your business overheads and profit margin.

Should electricians mark up materials?
Electricians often spend time selecting, sourcing, ordering, collecting and managing materials. Passing the supplier cost straight through may not recover that work or the related business costs. Review those costs when setting your own prices; there is no fixed material markup in this template.
Read How to Mark Up Materials on a Trade Quote for an explanation of the difference between markup and margin.
Should electricians charge hourly or quote a fixed price?
Both approaches can be useful. Hourly pricing may suit fault finding, work with an unknown scope and short service calls. A fixed price may suit clearly defined installations, lighting upgrades, power point installations, known switchboard work and other jobs with a clear scope.
Even when quoting a fixed price, understand the internal labour rate your business needs. The Australian hourly-rate guide explains the costs behind that rate. If the scope is uncertain, read Quote vs Estimate: What’s the Difference for Tradies?
