Job Costing
Your numbers, your margin, before you commit. Enter the job as you know it and see gross profit, projected net, and the price that carries your overhead. Nothing here is shown to a homeowner.

Blank uses the suite anchor: 35% overhead, 17% net, the 52% gross profit doctrine. Enter your real numbers and every result on this page recalculates to your shop.
How this sheet calculates
Prime cost is everything the job consumes: equipment, materials, labor at your burdened rate, permits, marketing if you count it per job, and sales commission as a percent of the sell price if you pay one. Gross profit target is your overhead percent plus your net target. Suggested price is the industry cost-up rule: prime cost divided by one minus the gross profit target minus the commission percent. At a given sell price, projected net is gross profit percent minus overhead percent.
This sheet is neutral: every cost on it is yours, typed by you. The tool only supplies the formulas and labeled suggestions, like the regional labor rate hint and the industry benchmark ranges. It warns and never blocks: a thin job gets a flag, and the call stays yours.
Enter your costs on the left and this panel shows your margin as you type. Add a sell price to cost a quoted job, or leave it blank and get the price that carries your overhead and your net.
