How do I calculate job profit?
Subtract materials, labor (hours × your loaded labor rate), and overhead from the job price. What's left is profit; divide it by the price for your margin.

It varies by trade, but many healthy home-service businesses target 20–40% net margin after overhead. The calculator shows where a given job lands so you can price accordingly.
