How this calculator works
Enter the price you're about to quote a customer along with your estimated total cost for the job to see the resulting profit margin in dollars and as a percentage before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
What costs should I include in the job cost?
Include materials, labour, subcontractors, equipment hire and a share of overheads relevant to the job.
What margin should I aim for on a quote?
This varies by trade and job risk, but many businesses set a minimum acceptable margin below which they won't quote.
What if the margin comes back negative?
A negative margin means the quoted price is below total cost, so you'd make a loss on the job as priced.
