Help with pricing a large job

I am in Central Florida where the prices are on the lower end of the spectrum so normal route work is $1.25 per pane per side. I have been pricing WFP at $2.50 for the first level and then adding $1 for each additional level consecutively. My most recent job took 3 hours including set up and break down of the WFP for 126 windows, (40 of which were on the second level). I charged $190, my minimum per hour is $50 so I netted a profit of $12/hr. Same windows on the interior were done with a pole and trad tools so it took me 4.5 hours. I charged $225 so I hit my $50/hr minimum, so next time I need to assess my technique and efficiency as well as raising the price by .50-$1 per window for the interior.

My goodness that is cheap! $190 for 3 hours/$225 for 4.5 hrs work is really rough bro. I sit at a bare minimum of $100/hr, and I get shitty if its even a dollar under… with my new gear and technique I’ve been hitting $125-$150/hr.

I consider myself lucky to be in a decent market. I’m at AUD$5/pane average, $5-$10 per screen and $2-4 per track.

For larger commercial jobs, $5-$10 for exterior only WFP, $10-$15 per pane for in/out
