How to use this calculator
Materials
Enter the direct cost of the material used on the work. Do not include markup in this number.
Markup
Markup is added to materials to cover handling, purchasing time, waste, and profit. If your material cost is $1,200 and markup is 15%, the markup amount is $180.
Contractor example
An electrical contractor bills $850 for a service call and uses $1,200 in material. With a 15% material markup, the billed material amount becomes $1,380. The final time and materials price is $2,230.
