Mike Andes explains how to calculate your efficiency score: budgeted hours divided by actual hours worked. If you budget 6 hours but clock 8, that's 75% efficiency. Below 50% means you're losing money; aim for 90% or higher.

Chapters

A 50% efficiency score will never make money. So if I take six budgeted hours, or how long I think the jobs will take, divided by the amount of clocked hours or how long the job actually takes, this comes up with my efficiency score. So six budget hours in an eight hour day, that equals a 75% efficiency score. I have never seen a business that's profitable if this number is under 50%. Ideally it's over 90%. That means that only 10% of my day is wasted with drive time, load time, brakes, et cetera.
