FAQ
Common questions
What costs should a lawn care price include?
Consider labor, fuel and travel, materials, equipment-related costs, overhead and any job-specific expenses. The exact cost structure depends on your business.
What is the difference between markup and margin?
Markup is profit added relative to cost. Margin is profit as a percentage of the final selling price. This calculator uses target profit margin.
