For pros: how to price your work to win jobs and profit

June 21, 2026

Pricing is one of the biggest worries for new pros — too high and you fear losing jobs, too low and you lose money. This article helps you price with confidence.

Account for all your costs first

  • Labour and the time actually spent (including travel time)
  • Materials/parts and tool wear
  • Travel and other hidden costs

Make it easy for clients to decide

  • Show a transparent price range to reduce needless haggling
  • Explain what the price includes to build trust
  • Start competitive, then raise prices as your reviews build up

Once you have consistent good reviews and reach Professional tier, your credibility lets you charge more while clients still choose you. List your profile free on Tokebe.
