I spend a lot of time fixing things, for myself and others. (Computers, electrical, plumbing, etc). While I learn a lot, I wonder sometimes if it would be better to pay a professional and do something else for which I am more 'valuable'. Do you do the same, and do you find it worthwhile?

$100 per hour.

The company I work for makes roughly 10m in revenue.

There are 2000 work hours in a year.

There are 50ish total employees.

So 10m÷2k÷50=100.

It's not that simple, at all. Who pays the office rent? The insurance premiums? The corporate taxes? Buying equipment? Paying for time off? Etc.

I didn't say there aren't costs. I need a car and food and have expenses as well.

The question was what is my time valued at.
