How the estimate works

Workminute combines the paid time during the interruption with the contribution value of work that could not be completed.

Event cost = paid time + delayed items × value per item

Use this number well

  1. Use your fully loaded labour rate when available.
  2. Use contribution value—not the full selling price—for a more realistic estimate.
  3. Track the same type of stop for several weeks.
  4. Compare the annual impact with the cost of preventing the problem.
