How this works

These are your numbers, not market prices. The defaults are a worked example so the tool shows something useful; they are not what anyone charges in your area. Replace them with your own rates and costs.

  • List price per visit = your flat price, or price per foot × boat length.
  • Plan price per visit = list price × (1 − plan discount %), rounded to the cent.
  • Visits per year = 52 ÷ weeks between visits, or 12 ÷ months between visits. Every 3 weeks is 17.3 visits a year.
  • Per boat per year = plan price per visit × visits per year.
  • Monthly plan price = per boat per year ÷ 12, so a customer on an every-2-weeks plan pays the same amount each month even though some months have three visits.
  • Per hour = plan price per visit ÷ time per visit (travel included).

The example: $3.00/ft on a 36 ft boat is $108.00 a visit. Monthly with a 5% discount is $102.60 a visit, $1,231.20 a year, $102.60 a month. Every 2 weeks with 10% off is $97.20 a visit, 26 visits, $2,527.20 a year or $210.60 a month.

Setting the discount

  • A plan discount buys you predictable work and a denser route. Check the per-hour column: if regular boats in one marina take less travel time per visit, the discount can pay for itself.
  • Keep the discount below the time you save. The “of discount a year” figure is what each plan customer gets back from you.
  • Say what's in the plan (which services, zincs or not) and how missed visits, weather and haul-outs are handled.
