Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: nach Aufwand
I was just wondering if anybody had a concise way of expressing the idea of "nach Aufwand" in the context of charging somebody for repair work.

Thanks to everybody who proposed an answer. It's hard to choose which one to accept as the best answer. Too bad there's not a way to give everybody credit. "Nach Aufwand" is one of those expressions for me that is transparent in meaning, but a big problem to render well in English--despite its size. Thanks again!

Erklärung:
agree with dollmann; nevertheless "Aufwand" includes the entire requirement - parts as well as labor (work done).

can't think of one concise expression - make it a good english sentence that fits your context and you're in business.

according to effort


Erklärung:
That's how I have translated this term so far thinking it would include work and expenses.

cost-plus


Erklärung:
This of course not only includes material and labour but also a profit margin. In reality though, the German "nach Aufwand" does too.
