What is the difference between profit margin and markup?

Profit margin is your profit divided by the selling price, expressed as a percentage of revenue. Markup is your profit divided by your cost, expressed as a percentage of cost. Both measure profitability but from different angles, so it is important to know which one you are using when pricing jobs.

How do I use the Job Profit & Margin Calculator?

Enter your total job costs and your selling price into the calculator. It will instantly display your profit in dollars, your margin percentage, and your markup percentage. Use these results to confirm your pricing covers costs and delivers the profit you need on every job.

Why should contractors track job margin on every project?

Tracking job margin on every project helps contractors spot pricing mistakes before they become costly patterns. Even small margin errors add up over many jobs. Knowing your margin ensures you cover overhead, pay your team, and still take home a profit, keeping your business financially healthy long term.
