What Is Job Costing? Job costing, also called project-based accounting, is the process of tracking costs and revenue for each individual project. Job costing looks at each project in detail, breaking down the costs of labor, materials and overhead. It makes fewer assumptions than other costing methods. Job costing is commonly used in the construction industry, where costs vary widely from job to job. But it’s also used by manufacturers, creative agencies, law firms and more. Because job costing tracks costs in detail for each job, it can be a helpful tool for small business owners to evaluate individual jobs and see if any expenses can be reduced on similar projects in the future. Check vehicles to determine the amount of structural, body, mechanical or interior damage. Calculate cost of labor and parts to fix or replace each affected item and estimate the salvage value of the total vehicle loss. Analyze repair cost estimates and communicate with the collision repair manager or foreman. Arrange a second appraisal if necessary. Review cost effectiveness of repair versus replacement of parts. Determine fees associated with repainting, converting to special purposes or customizing undamaged vehicles. Fill out insurance claim forms to indicate repair or replacement cost estimates and recommendations. Follow up on all account receivable from insurance companies as well as individual customers. How to Calculate Job Costing Job costing is calculated by accumulating the cost of labor, materials and overhead on a specific job. The accounting activities involved in calculating job costing are: 1. CALCULATE LABOR COSTS Calculate how much it costs your business to employ all staff members who will work on the project per day. Multiply the payroll day rate by the amount of time you estimate you’ll need to complete the job. If you’ll rely on subcontractors for work your company doesn’t complete itself, factor those costs into your total labor costs for the job. It can help to get an estimate from each of these contractors. 2. CALCULATE MATERIAL COSTS Calculate the cost of all materials used on the job. For a construction business, this would include materials such as lumber, wiring, screws and more. You may choose to add a margin to these materials to cover other related costs including wastage or delivery fees. 3. ESTIMATE APPLIED OVERHEAD Overhead is the most difficult cost to calculate, because you’ll need to rely on an approximation instead of a more exact figure. You’ll need to estimate the total overhead costs factoring into the job, including rent on your office, administrative costs and depreciation on the equipment used. Many businesses apply a blanket overhead fee to each project, such as 10 percent per job. An accountant can help you analyze your business and develop a specific approach to overhead. Or, you can calculate your predetermined overhead rate. Written as an equation, job costing is calculated like this: Total Job Cost = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Applied Overhead LEARNING OUTCOME #1: SELF-ASSESSMENT GUIDE 1.1.1 Self-check in parts of speech Self-check # 1 1.1.1 SELF-CHECK #1 Direction: identify the correct answer for each blank.

The predetermined overhead rate is a calculation used to determine the estimated overhead costs for individual jobs, during a specific time period. Most businesses create annual budgets that include estimated overhead and estimated activity for the year. You can use these budget estimates to calculate an overhead rate to apply to each of your jobs. To calculate your predetermined overhead rate, you use the following equation: Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated Overhead / Estimated Activity There are usually different activity estimates included in your budget; opt to use the activity that applies most directly to your company’s overhead costs, for example, your estimated direct labor hours. 1. PREDETERMINED OVERHEAD RATE EXAMPLE You want to use job costing in your construction business, and you’re looking to calculate your predetermined overhead rate to use for job costing. You estimate that in 2020, you’ll have $500,000.00 in overhead costs. You also estimate that your employees will work 10,000 hours in 2020. Your calculation would look like this: 500,000 overhead / 10,000 direct labor hours = $5 per direct labor hour Now that you’ve calculated your predetermined overhead rate, you can apply it to jobs for the purpose of job costing, as the applied overhead cost. For each direct labor hour worked, you’ll add $5 of overhead to the job. This is your applied overhead. To calculate job costing, you’ll remember we use the following calculation: Total Job Cost = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Applied Overhead Job Costing Example Your automotive shop completed a client car. The total cost of your shop billable labor hours is 10,000 and you will bill 2,500 in material costs. Your shop has determined your applied overhead cost for the job is 8,500. You now have all the elements you need. Here’s how to calculate job costing: Direct Materials (2,500) + Direct Labor (10,0000) + Applied overhead (8,500) = 21,000 Your total job cost for your client’s car is 21,000. LEARNING OUTCOME #: SELF-ASSESSMENT GUIDE 2.1.1 self-check in job costing Self-check # 1 Self-check 2.1.1 Direction: answer the given question below Job Costing Your automotive shop completed a client car. The total cost of your shop billable labor hours is 11,050 and you will bill 2,550 in material costs. Your shop has determined your applied overhead cost for the job is 6,555. You now have all the elements you need.
