Most contractors undercharge by 15-25%. If you're not factoring in overhead — insurance, truck, fuel, tools, phone, licensing — you're paying to go to work.
Don't forget the "soft" costs. Permit fees, dump runs, drive time, subcontractors — click "Additional Job Costs" and enter them. If it's not in the price, it comes out of your pocket.
Markup is not the same as margin. A 50% markup only gives you a 33% margin. If your target is 40%, you need a 67% markup. This calculator does that math.
Industry benchmarks: Most profitable trade shops run 35-50% gross margin. Below 20% is danger zone. Above 50% and you're building real wealth.
