The PHCC Educational Foundation's
Understanding Overhead program is now
available for sale. This
excellent tool helps users to calculate a
selling price that covers all their costs of
doing business and provides the net profit
percentage they desire.
The Overhead CD comes loaded with Excel
spreadsheets that take users through the
steps of calculating their Direct Labor
Costs (for up to 10 technicians per company
or department), Overhead Costs, Break-Even
Rate, Profitable Selling Price, Monthly &
Annual Net Profit, and Target Revenue &
Profit Goals.
The CD includes narrated video tutorials to
guide users through how to use the
worksheets and a printed guide with
additional instructions and examples. Extra
tools on the CD include a Lost Time to
Dollars productivity calculator and a
Financial Ratios calculator to help you
analyze & compare your financials against
industry averages.

Business owners can use the spreadsheets in a
company meeting to demonstrate to employees the true
costs of doing business and why all that money they
collect from customers isn't going into the owner's
pocket!
PHCC chapters are encouraged to give an overview of
the program at local chapter meetings to help new or
small business owner members gain better control
over their pricing policies. The CDs can also be
used as member recruitment or retention gifts by
your chapter.
The CD is available for sale through the PHCC
website at
www.phccweb.org,
item #9310. PHCC member pricing is $99, or
$129 for non-PHCC members. Multiple copy discounts
are available for PHCC chapters or other groups.
