FAQ
Common questions
Why is a 25% markup only a 20% margin?
Because markup uses cost as the denominator while margin uses selling price.
Can I use this for subcontractors too?
Mathematically yes, though your pricing policy may treat subcontracted work differently.
Does this include tax?
No unless your cost input already includes it.
