Price the whole job before sending the estimate
Materials: $800 · Labor: 10 hours × $75 = $750 · Subcontractors: $200 · Overhead: $50.
Total costs are $1,800. To target a 25% profit margin, the calculator divides $1,800 by 0.75 and suggests a $2,400 quote, leaving $600 estimated profit.
Adding 25% to costs would instead produce a $2,250 quote and a 20% margin. The calculator makes that difference visible and includes subcontractors and overhead before you quote.
