How the margin math works

Material cost is the sum of qty × unit cost across every line on the job, regardless of status — once it's ordered, it's spent.

Labor cost is hours × rate. Use your burdened rate — wage plus payroll tax, workers' comp, and vehicle — not the wage you put on the paycheck.

Gross profit is quote − material − labor. Gross margin is profit ÷ quote. Break-even is the quote at which profit hits zero.

Overhead and taxes come out of gross profit. A job at 12% gross margin is usually a job you paid to do.
