Direct costs plus your hourly pay target for all the time this booking uses.
The gap between the current price and your selected planning target.
Total journey time supported while holding the entered direct costs unchanged.
Distance-only limit at the current occupied time and entered cost per mile.
The current price covers direct costs but needs an adjustment to meet the target.
5 hr 45 min occupied in total; contribution is before general overheads and tax.
Planning estimate only. Results depend entirely on the illustrative defaults and values you enter; they are not tax, accounting or market-pricing advice.
How the estimate works
Transparent assumptions, not a magic price
Include both sides of the journey
Use travel from base and back, or allocate the journeys from the previous customer and towards the next one. Both time and mileage contribute to the result.
Define profitable using your target
The minimum planning price combines direct costs, the selected hourly value of all occupied time and the desired pound-value profit buffer. It is not a market-price recommendation.
Read classifications as planning signals
Core meets the selected target. Extended covers direct costs but needs a fee to reach the target. Currently unprofitable does not cover the direct costs entered at the current price.
Questions about this planning estimate
What should a mobile business charge for travel?
The suggested fee is the gap between the current appointment price and the minimum planning price produced by your time, costs and target. Customer expectations and local pricing still need consideration.
What does vehicle cost per mile include?
Use your own estimate for fuel or charging, servicing, tyres, depreciation and other distance-related vehicle costs. Avoid adding a cost twice if it is already included elsewhere.
Does CalMov guarantee that a location is profitable?
No. The classification is a planning estimate based only on the values entered. It cannot predict traffic, cancellations, demand, tax or unexpected operating costs.
From estimate to availability
CalMov checks customer locations before bookings are confirmed, helping you protect your service area and avoid appointment times you cannot realistically reach.
