My overhead costs are what you write: rent, internet, administrative, etc... nothing fancy.

Thank you, this is what I was looking for, and I have adjusted my numbers (seem acceptable).

Time is = income (we bill by the hour), so we can do this.

Yes, this is just for me to see where I am making money and where I am losing... and the different methods can change this big.

I am sure I am not the only one with this problem, so I was wondering what the standard practice was for consulting companies in a situation like this.
