Contractor pricing

Target Profit Calculator

Set the margin you need, then solve for the sale price required to carry that job.

Inputs

Reverse pricing starts with the margin requirement. The quote is then solved from cost, instead of guessed from habit.

Total job costs ($)

Include labor, materials, subcontractors, and any cost this job should carry.

Desired profit margin (%)

Margin is profit as a share of the final sale price.

These numbers show the minimum price needed to meet the target.

Required sale price

$22,500.00

Profit amount

$4,500.00

At a 20.0%target margin, every dollar of quoted revenue does not become profit. Cost is still recovered first.

Pricing is more reliable when cost, margin, and approved scope stay in the same record.
