Explore all featuresList every material on the job, set one markup percentage, and see the customer price, profit, and margin for each line and for the whole job. Answers the everyday question — how much should I mark up materials? — with real numbers, not a rule of thumb.
| Material / description | Your cost | Customer price | Profit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Job totals | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 |

Markup is added on top of what you paid; margin is what's left as a share of what the customer pays. The calculator applies your single markup % to every line, then rolls the lines up into a job total.
// per line
customer price = cost × (1 + markup ÷ 100)
profit = customer price − cost
// whole job
total charge = sum of every line's customer price
margin = total profit ÷ total charge × 100
A 25% markup does not mean you keep 25% of the price. On $800 of materials, a 25% markup adds $200, so the customer pays $1,000 — but $200 out of $1,000 is a 20% margin. The gap widens as the markup climbs: a 50% markup is only a 33% margin. If you'd rather work backwards from a target margin, use the markup vs margin calculator; to price a full job with labor and overhead on top, use the quote & estimate calculator.
| Total material cost (heater, fittings, valves, pan) | $800.00 |
| Markup applied | 25% |
| Amount added ($800 × 0.25) | $200.00 |
| Customer price ($800 × 1.25) | $1,000.00 |
| Profit on materials | $200.00 |
| Effective margin ($200 ÷ $1,000) | 20% |
That $200 isn't free money. It covers the trip to the supply house, the time spent comparing prices, the cash you fronted before the customer paid, and the warranty you now carry if the heater fails. Spread across a day, materials markup is often what keeps a job profitable after a call-back or a bad-weather delay. Line-item it cleanly on the quote — the handyman estimate template and the quoting & estimates guide show how to present parts and labor so customers see value, not padding.
If you charged customers exactly what you paid at the counter, you'd be working the procurement side of the job for free. Materials markup pays for real, unbilled work:
This is markup, not gouging. The percentage simply moves those costs onto the part instead of hiding them in your labor rate — where they'd quietly erode the margin you can see on the job profit calculator.
RevoField applies your markup to every part automatically as you build a quote, then turns the accepted quote into an invoice you can collect on-site. Consistent margins on every job, no spreadsheet.
