Materials markup calculator
See the selling price after adding your chosen markup to materials or subcontractor costs.
Cost + markup = customer selling price.
Calculate markupJob profit calculator
Check whether a quote actually makes money after labour, materials and job overhead are included.
Selling price − true job cost = gross profit.
Check a quote's profitTradesperson day-rate calculator
Estimate the minimum billable day rate needed to cover annual pay and business overhead across realistic billable days.
Annual pay + overhead ÷ billable days.
Calculate day rateMargin vs markup
Markup is added to cost. Margin is the percentage of the selling price left after cost. Confusing the two can quietly underprice work.
A 25% markup is not a 25% margin.

Pricing jobs: quick answers
Should I mark up materials?
Many businesses include a markup to cover purchasing time, handling, risk and overhead. The right level depends on your business and market.
Why use margin instead of just adding a percentage?
Target margin pricing works backwards from the profit percentage you want to retain, which helps prevent accidental underpricing.
Does the customer see my costs?
No. QuickrQuote keeps internal costs, profit and margin in the working view and removes them from the customer print/PDF document.

Common quoting questions
Should I add markup to materials?
Many businesses add markup to recover the time, risk and overhead involved in sourcing and supplying materials. QuickrQuote lets you see both true cost and customer selling price so you can decide what is appropriate for the job.
What is the difference between markup and margin?
Markup is calculated from cost; margin is calculated from selling price. They are not interchangeable. Checking margin on the finished quote helps show how much of the selling price remains after direct job cost.
Should labour cost equal my hourly selling rate?
No. Your true labour cost and the rate charged to a customer can be different. The selling rate needs to contribute to overhead and profit as well as labour cost.
Can I use this for estimates and invoices too?
Yes. The same job can be prepared as an estimate, quote or invoice, while internal cost and profit information stays off the customer-facing printout.
Don't stop at the calculation.
Turn the price into a professional quote and keep the job in your pipeline.
