We are the Facility Management Services. My question is, while preparing the invoice for our contractor, should our management fee include the total mandays cost + overtime cost? i.e., is the management fee 10% on the total cost (mandays + OT) OR is the management fee 10% on the total cost (mandays) excluding OT.

Dear Mr. Nagrajan R,
The payment to workmen (Wages for 30 days + OT + Employer PF + Employer ESI + Bonus + Leave Encashment + Uniform and other consumables) is actual. All the above are to be paid to you for the workmen on receipt from your client. Therefore, you have no income left for your establishment.
Thus, you need to decide what your service charge should be to ensure the sustainability of the establishment. It can be an X amount for each unit of the manpower supplied by you and should be charged separately on the invoice.

The computation of management fees depends on the contract you have signed. However, if you take the management fees on the standard cost, you will lose out in terms of additional billing.
Also remember that you are using working capital to sustain the payments and overtime means you need to use additional working capital. That carries a cost in terms of interest or lost opportunity cost which you should be able to recover.
Another point to be remembered, some companies deduct TDS of 2% on contractor bills, so you will lose 2% of OT also. If your management fees exclude OT, then you may have a cash flow problem because the refund of TDS will come to you 18 months or so down the line.
Further, the fact that the workers are doing overtime also means that you are being asked to deploy a lesser number of workers. If you were putting additional workers instead of paying overtime, then your billing would be higher anyway, so that is another justification for following the COST + OT method.
