Six things MARGIN does, properly

Break-even and target hourly rates built from your annualised recoverable operating costs, your productive hours and your target markup — every input shown. How the calculation works.

Draft a quote, see the gross profit and margin it produces at your own labour cost, and keep contingency and P&G visible as allowances. Quotes move through draft, sent, won or lost.

Entry-based ledgers for labour, materials, subcontractors, other direct costs and approved variations, with running totals and a warning when labour is ahead of progress. Materials and subcontractor invoices can be read automatically and presented for you to check before anything is saved.

Time-and-materials jobs with frozen rates and margins, plus a client progress claim PDF that shows no internal cost or profit information. More on charge-up work.

Estimate against actual on completed jobs, with hours, costs, variations, gross profit, margin and variances, exportable as a PDF. More on back costing.

Patterns across completed jobs — labour overruns, margin by job, and where pricing is consistently short.

Each business's data is private to that business. Uploaded profit & loss reports and estimates are read once and the file is never stored. Sessions time out after a period of inactivity. See the Privacy Policy.
