Reference: How Labor Cost is Calculated
The Optimizer prioritizes the lowest Labor Percentage. **Formula**: [[Labor Percentage = Labor Cost / Revenue]] - **Labor Cost**: The total hours of the event multiplied by the sum of the hourly rates of the assigned crew. - **Revenue**: The discounted subtotal (includes labor and all other charges). **Note on Billable Hours**: The tool only calculates costs based on Billable Hours (time charged to the customer). Non-billable time (e.g., training, morning huddles, gas stops) is excluded from the optimization calculation.
