Service Business Profit Margin Calculator
See gross profit, profit margin and markup from job revenue and direct job costs.
Gross profit$275.00
Profit margin55.0%
Markup on cost122.2%
This is a job-level gross profit estimate, not accounting or tax advice. Fixed business overhead and taxes are not included unless you enter them as a direct cost.
How to use it
Revenue is not the same thing as profit.
Tracking job economics makes it easier to see whether pricing is covering the direct cost of doing the work. For a complete business view, fixed overhead and taxes also need to be considered.
2. Review the result
Treat the calculation as a planning starting point. Your local market, overhead and scope still matter.
3. Turn it into a quote
Use the result to prepare a clear customer-facing quote and keep the job connected through invoicing.

FAQ
Common questions
How is profit margin calculated?
For this tool, gross profit is revenue minus the direct costs entered. Gross profit margin is gross profit divided by revenue, multiplied by 100.
How is markup different from margin?
Markup compares profit with cost, while margin compares profit with revenue. They can describe the same job with different percentages.
Does this include taxes and overhead?
Not automatically. Add relevant job-level costs in the inputs. For full business profitability, you also need to account for fixed overhead and taxes.
