← Fire Extinguisher Inspection Route Margin Calculator
This calculator vs. ServiceTitan
Two different shapes: ServiceTitan is account-based field-service software for running a route business across scheduling, dispatch, and every technician. This page is a free, private worksheet for one question — is this site actually profitable once recharge, hydro-test, and replacement materials come out.
What each tool is for
ServiceTitan is a field service management platform, founded in 2007 by Ara Mahdessian and Vahe Kuzoyan and headquartered in Glendale, California, used by HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other trades to run scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, marketing, and reporting across a business, sold as an ongoing subscription account. ServiceTitan's own pricing page is not reachable from this session to confirm today's exact plan names or dollar figures, so no price for it is invented here: only its well-documented identity and category — field-service management software, sold as a subscription account — are stated, and no dollar amount for ServiceTitan appears on this page.
This calculator does none of what ServiceTitan does. It does not manage a customer list, schedule a technician's route, dispatch a crew, or collect a payment, and it stores no customer or job record on a server. It takes a site's extinguisher count, its certified visits per year, the inspection and tag fees and the tag's own cost, the percentage of units needing a recharge, a hydrostatic test, or a replacement on this visit along with each one's fee and materials cost, on-site inspection minutes, round-trip drive time and mileage, your target hourly rate, and a monthly recordkeeping cost, and turns that into real monthly profit for that one site — plus, once you have several sites priced, a roll-up of the whole route's monthly profit against an income goal. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type.
| Question | Where to answer it |
|---|---|
| I run a fire-extinguisher or life-safety inspection route and need customer management, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, and payments in one system across every technician and every site. | ServiceTitan, or a comparable field-service platform — running a whole business is not something this calculator does. |
| Is this site actually profitable once recharge, hydro-test, and replacement materials come out, not just its inspection fee? | This calculator — free, instant, private, no account. |
| Does my route as a whole hit my monthly income goal, and if not, how many more profitable sites close the gap? | This calculator's route roll-up and income-gap check. |
| I need one shared account so my whole team is scheduling, dispatching, invoicing, and collecting payment the same way. | ServiceTitan, or a comparable field-service platform. |
| Does this tool certify a site meets NFPA 10 or any other fire-code requirement? | Neither tool. This calculator prices your labor, materials, and route economics only — it does not perform, certify, or record a compliance determination. |
| Do I need to create an account or sign up to use the tool? | This calculator: no. ServiceTitan is used through a subscription account. |
Most independent inspection route operators get different value from each: ServiceTitan (or a comparable field-service platform) for running customer management, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, and payments across a whole business as an ongoing subscription, and a private calculator like this one for an instant, no-login answer to whether one site is actually worth keeping once its recharge, hydro-test, and replacement materials are counted, before a business system is involved. This page's own figures are a pricing model, not a scheduled visit, an invoice, or a compliance record.
This tool needs no account and no sign-in: it is a static page, the arithmetic runs in your browser, and once it has loaded it keeps working with the connection off.
Common questions
Should I use this calculator or ServiceTitan?
They do different jobs, and an independent fire-extinguisher and life-safety inspection route operator of any size will likely end up touching both eventually. ServiceTitan is a field service management platform, founded in 2007 by Ara Mahdessian and Vahe Kuzoyan and headquartered in Glendale, California, used by HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other trades to run scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, marketing, and reporting across a business, sold as an ongoing subscription account. ServiceTitan's own pricing page is not reachable from this session to confirm today's exact plan names or dollar figures, so no price for it is invented here: only its well-documented identity and category — field-service management software, sold as a subscription account — are stated, and no dollar amount for ServiceTitan appears on this page. This calculator does one narrower thing: starting from a site's extinguisher count, certified visits per year, the inspection and tag fees, the share of units needing a recharge, hydrostatic test, or replacement this visit and each one's materials cost, on-site and drive time, and a monthly recordkeeping cost, it turns that into real monthly profit for that one site — then rolls a whole route of sites into a total and checks it against a monthly income goal. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type. An operator who already schedules routes, dispatches technicians, and invoices across every site and every job is better served by ServiceTitan or a comparable field-service platform; an operator who wants an instant, private answer to whether one site is actually worth keeping once recharge, hydro-test, and replacement materials come out is in the right place here.
