Job margin calculator
Job margin is sold price minus cost, shown as dollars and as a percent of sold price. Include approved change orders so the live job view matches what you will actually bill and spend.
Margin FAQ
How do I calculate job margin?
Margin $ = sold price − cost. Margin % = margin $ ÷ sold price × 100.
Should change orders be included?
Yes. Approved change orders increase both sold price and cost and should roll into the live job margin view.
What is a healthy margin?
Targets differ by trade, but many specialty contractors watch jobs that dip under ~20% margin after change orders.
