Show the math
Estimates use unrounded numbers. Displayed amounts round to cents.
What this means
Labor cost, parts and your fixed allowance form the cost base. A markup or margin then determines a selling price.
Worked example
2 hours at $30, $40 parts and $20 overhead total $120. A 25% markup gives $150 and 20% margin. A 25% target margin instead gives $160.
How the math works
Cost = hours × labor cost/hour + parts + overhead. Markup price = cost × (1 + markup/100). Margin price = cost/(1 − margin/100).
About this estimate
Profit is after entered costs only, before tax, fees and unentered expenses. The overhead allowance is a dollar amount, not a percentage. Zero cost gives zero price and undefined markup/margin.
