GopherHaul 68 Lawn Care Blog Show How to Calculate Overhead Cost [HD]

http://www.gopherforum.com - One lawn care business owner wrote “I am having a very difficult time trying to figure out my overhead costs. I am not even sure if I am using the right formula. Right now, I am figuring I work 1400 hrs.(35 weeks) a year at a rate of $20/hr.

But I have seen all kinds of hours like for example:
Overhead/2000 hrs(50 weeks)
Overhead/1920(48 weeks)

I am not sure which one I should be going with. But the fact of the matter is that you can only mow 6 months out the year here in Michigan. Now with that being said, I need a formula that can give me an accurate dollar figure to tell me my overhead cost per hour. Because the truck payment, mortgage/rent, don’t stop coming in just because I am not working in the winter. Can someone simply break this down for me? I know the Gopher Forum has a lawn care business estimate calculator but I need something that is a little more simple to help me understand this better.”
