Free Job Profit Calculator

Job profit is revenue minus the costs you enter. Include a realistic cost for your own labor and allocated overhead so a busy job does not hide a loss.

Your result

Total cost: $3,500.00 Modeled profit: $1,500.00 Margin: 30.00% Markup: 42.86%

How to use this tool

  1. Enter job revenue excluding tax collected for a taxing authority.
  2. Add labor, materials, other direct costs and a consistent share of overhead.
  3. Compare profit, profit margin and markup. Revisit the estimate using actual costs when the job ends.

A worked example

On a $5,000 job with $1,500 labor, $1,000 materials, $300 other costs and $700 overhead, total cost is $3,500. Modeled profit is $1,500, margin 30% and markup about 42.86%.

What the result includes

Results are before income taxes and any unentered expenses. Profit is not cash available: unpaid invoices, deposits, equipment purchases and debt payments affect cash flow.

Common questions

What if revenue is zero?

The tool can show a loss equal to your costs, but margin is undefined because it would require division by zero.

Should I include my own labor?

Include a reasonable owner-labor cost if you want to measure profit after compensating the work. Do not count it twice in overhead.
