Desired Profit Margin

Gross margin is the share of the final price left after job costs are paid. It is not the same as markup.

Desired gross profit margin

Enter a margin between 1 and 90 percent.

We calculate price as cost divided by one minus your margin, not by adding the percentage on top of cost. Those two are not the same number, and the difference is where a lot of contractors lose money.

3 Things This Usually Shows

What The Number Usually Tells You

Overhead Is The Quiet One

Labor and materials are easy to see. The trucks, insurance, software, and advertising are what actually thin the margin out.

Busy Is Not Profitable

Plenty of contractors run a full schedule on jobs that barely carry themselves. Volume hides it until the slow month.

Margin Is Not Markup

Adding 40 percent to your cost does not give you a 40 percent margin. It gives you about 29. That gap is real money.

Margin Thinner Than You Thought?

That is a pricing problem, a follow up problem, or a marketing spend problem. Your Growth Gameplan tells you which one.
