How to calculate the real cost of a repair

March 8, 20266 minSimpleStore

The most common mistake

"Part cost R$200, charged R$400, profit R$200" — WRONG!

Real cost includes: part + shipping + defect loss + labor (salary × 1.7-2.0 for benefits) + fixed costs (rent/utilities divided by repairs/month) + consumables.

Example: iPhone 15 screen replacement real cost = R$390.90. If charging R$400, real profit is only R$9.10.

For 40% margin, charge R$651.
