Six inputs, one honest answer. Here's exactly what the calculator does with your numbers.
Use your loaded cost per hour — wage plus payroll taxes, workers' comp, and benefits — not the rate you charge the customer. Costing labor at your bill rate hides the profit you're actually making. Not sure of your number? Work it out with the hourly rate calculator.
The job is costed at material_cost — what you paid. Your material markup is the extra you bill on top, and that lift lives inside the quoted price. Keeping them separate means your profit reflects real dollars, not a marked-up sticker price. Dial in the right markup with the markup vs. margin calculator.
Your truck, insurance, phone, software, and shop don't stop costing money when you're on a job. Spreading them across billable hours means every quote carries its share — so a "profitable" job doesn't quietly leave the overhead unpaid. Find your per-hour number with the overhead & break-even calculator.
Note: markup raises what you can charge, so it feeds the quoted price you enter. The cost breakdown always uses your real material_cost, which is why the profit line is the money you actually keep.
Say a bathroom rough-in takes 16 hours at a loaded labor cost of $45/hr. You buy $500 of materials, allocate $20/hr of overhead, and quote the customer $2,200. Here's how the profit shakes out:
| Line | Math | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Labor cost | 16 hrs × $45 | $720 |
| Materials (cost) | what you paid | $500 |
| Overhead allocated | 16 hrs × $20 | $320 |
| Total job cost | $1,540 | |
| Revenue | quoted price | $2,200 |
| Profit | $2,200 − $1,540 | $660 |
| Profit margin | $660 / $2,200 × 100 | 30% |
A 30% margin is healthy for trade work. Now change one thing: if you'd quoted $1,700 instead, the profit drops to $160 and the margin falls to about 9% — below the 10% line, where a single callback or a $150 material overrun turns the job into a loser. That's the difference the calculator surfaces before you commit to a price.
This calculator prices one job at a time. RevoField tracks labor, materials, and overhead automatically across all of them — so you see real profit per job, per tech, and per customer without touching a spreadsheet. Build quotes on-site with the quoting tools, then invoice and get paid from the same app.
