1
If you pay a guard $20 an hour and charge the client $25, you are not automatically making $5 an hour.
2
Your billing rate has to cover the guard's wage, employer payroll costs, workers' compensation, insurance, overhead, staffing problems, and then profit.
3
So start with the guard's wage.
4
For this example, we'll use $20 an hour.
5
That wage still has to meet any minimum wage, prevailing wage, or contract -specific requirements where you're operating.
6
The guard costs you more than the hourly wage.
7
You may also be paying employer payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, workers' compensation, paid leave, and benefits.
8
Those costs vary by state, company, insurance history, and benefits, so don't copy somebody else's percentage.
9
For this example only, let's say those costs add another $5 per hour.
10
Our $20 guard now costs approximately $25 per hour.
11
Now add what it costs to actually run the account.
12
That can include general liability insurance, uniforms, equipment, training, scheduling, payroll processing,
13
supervision, software, licensing, administration, and vehicle costs if the contract requires them.
14
For this example, we'll allocate another $3 per guard hour.
15
We're now at an estimated cost of $28 per hour.
16
Now look at how you're actually going to cover the schedule.
17
If the contract requires 56 hours of coverage every week, Don't assume one employee can work all 56 at straight time.
18
Under federal law, most covered non -exempt employees must receive time and a half after 40 hours in a work week.
19
And some states have additional overtime rules.
20
Maybe you split those hours between two guards.
21
Maybe you need relief officers.
22
Maybe call -outs create occasional overtime.
23
Build your pricing around the staffing plan you're actually going to use.
24
For this example, let's assume expected overtime and relief coverage add an average of another $2 per billed hour.
25
That brings our estimated cost to $30 per hour.
26
Now add profit.
27
If it costs you $30 an hour to provide the service and you charge the client $30, you're not making anything.
28
Let's say you add $6 per hour.
29
Your billing rate becomes $36 dollars.
30
That $6 is a 20 % markup on your $30 cost, but it is only about a 16 .7 % profit margin on the $36 selling price.
31
If you actually want a 20 % margin on a $30 cost, you would need to charge $37 .50.
32
Know whether you're calculating markup or margin, they're not the same thing.
33
If you're actually trying to land your first security contract, I also put together a security contract prospecting kit to help you organize the process.
34
It includes a practical prospecting guide, cold call and email templates, follow -up scripts, an editable outreach document,
35
and an Excel lead tracker with a dashboard so you can keep track of who you contacted and what comes next.
36
It's a set of tools to help you prospect more professionally and stay organized.
37
All links are in the video description.
38
Now multiply the billing rate by the number of hours the client needs.
39
Say the client wants one guard on post eight hours per night, seven nights per week.
40
That's 56 guard hours.
41
At $36 per hour, the client would be billed $2 ,016 per week,
42
or about $104 ,832 over 52 weeks.
43
At our estimated $30 cost, the contract costs approximately $1 ,680 per week to operate.
44
That leaves about $336 per week in projected profit, or $17 ,472 over 52 weeks.
45
That's why revenue is not profit.
46
Don't hear that another security company charges $35 or $40 an hour and automatically copy them.
47
Their wages, insurance, workers' comp, benefits, overhead, and staffing costs may be completely different from yours.
48
The assignment matters too.
49
Armed security, mobile patrol, temporary coverage, emergency work, short shifts, and irregular schedules can all cost more to provide.
50
You may also want minimum billable hours for small assignments.
51
Government contracts can have required prevailing wages or benefits, so always read the solicitation before pricing those jobs.
52
Calculate your own costs first, then compare your rate against the market.
53
Find out when the client actually pays you.
54
You may have to pay your guards every week or every two weeks while the client pays your invoice 30 days later.
55
That means you may have to fund several payrolls before the first payment arrives.
56
So before you sign, know your wage cost, payroll burden, overhead, staffing costs,
57
profit target, billing rate, and how much cash you'll need to keep the account running until the client pays you.
58

- 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, payroll, overtime, calculate 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
