By category
Small costs are often the reason a job finishes below expectation. Tracking them while the work is active gives you a usable number, not a reconstruction after closeout.
How to use this tracker
Enter each direct cost
Add labor days, material purchases, rentals, dump fees, and similar charges as they happen.
Keep categories broad
Labor, material, equipment, and other are enough for most job reviews. If the categories become too detailed, the tracker becomes harder to use.
Review before billing or closeout
Check the total before you invoice, approve extra work, or report final job profit. The missing cost is usually not the large invoice. It is the collection of smaller items that were never tied back to the job.
Contractor example
A contractor finishes a small deck repair and remembers the main material order. What gets missed are one extra crew day, a lift rental, and two pickup runs. Each line is manageable on its own. Together they change whether the job actually met the expected margin.
Keep the pricing logic, approvals, and job record tied together so the numbers stay defensible.
