Many Jobs Look Profitable Until Overhead Is Included
Most contractors calculate profit like this:
- Job Revenue
- Materials
- Labor
But that leaves out real costs like:
- Insurance
- Vehicles and fuel
- Office and admin time
- Equipment wear
Those costs still belong to the job.
This calculator shows what the actual profit may look like once everything is included.
