How to Price CNC Router Services | Rate Guide
CNC router services are typically priced using one of two models: hourly rates ranging from $35 to $150 per hour (depending on machine capability, region, and job complexity), or per-project flat rates calculated from material cost, machine time, design labor, and a 20 to 35% profit margin. Hourly pricing works best for custom and unpredictable jobs, while per-project pricing suits standardized products with repeatable workflows. Most profitable shops use a hybrid approach, applying flat rates for catalog items and hourly billing for custom work.
