Is this job worth it?
Not what a job earns. What it earns per hour of work — the number that decides whether to take it. Put in your own numbers.

Want the method behind this number?
Get the free playbook and one number a week off our floor — including how to measure the handling minutes this calculator runs on.
The defaults are ours: Super Kleen Laundry, Lake City, Michigan. They come from one stopwatched order — 30 pounds, 75 minutes: 45 of handling, 30 of folding. Run on its own, that order reads about $35 an hour here, against the $34 we measured.
Running orders together is the soft spot. This model assumes intake, tagging, packaging and checkout never get shared, so six orders together reads lower than the $81 our payroll points to. Put a stopwatch on one run of several orders and set the two handling boxes from what you see.
Our materials figure is from a store on a well. Yours will be different. Don't use our numbers — put yours in.
