FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for the questions that usually come up first.

What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin measures profit as a share of selling price, while markup measures profit as a share of cost.

Should I include labor in other costs?

Yes. If labor belongs directly to the sale or project, include it so the margin reflects real delivery cost.
