How do I calculate the minimum price I should charge?

You can use the `get_operational_cost` tool. It calculates the total cost including fuel, labor, repairs, and overhead, which serves as your break-even rate.

Can I include a profit margin in my rate calculations?

Yes. After calculating your total cost, use `get_market_rate_range` and provide your desired profit margin to see the recommended high-end rate.

Does this tool account for equipment wear and tear?

Yes, the `get_operational_cost` tool uses a repair factor to account for maintenance and increasing costs as equipment ages.
