These are estimates from your inputs, not recommended market rates. Tax, payment fees and unlisted expenses are excluded.
Markup and margin are different.
Markup is added to your cost. Margin is the share of the selling price left after those costs. With costs of $1,000 and a 25% markup, your price is $1,250 and your estimated margin is 20%.
- Total cost = labor + materials + overhead
- Markup amount = total cost × markup percentage
- Price before tax = total cost + markup amount
- Margin = markup amount ÷ price × 100
Include the costs you expect this job to carry. The remainder is not necessarily your final take-home profit; other expenses may still apply.
