Job Markup & Profit Margin Calculator
Enter your material and labor costs and a target profit margin to see exactly what to charge — and how much profit you'll make. Stop guessing and start pricing every job for profit.
Total job cost: $500.00. Margin is the share of the price that is profit; markup is profit as a share of cost. Enter a margin below 100%.
Why pricing for margin matters
Underpricing is one of the fastest ways for a service business to go broke while staying busy. Pricing from a target margin — rather than just adding a vague markup — makes sure every job covers your overhead and leaves real profit. A small change in margin can be the difference between a thriving shop and a struggling one.
