How this calculation works

Markup is the amount you add on top of cost to arrive at your sale price. It is not the same as margin. Margin is the profit as a percentage of sale price, while markup is the profit as a percentage of cost. Mixing them up is one of the most common reasons contractors under-price jobs.

Formula

Sale price = Cost × (1 + Markup%)

What to do with this number

Knowing the number is easy. Hitting it on every job is the hard part. Most contractors have zero visibility into actual job margin until the project is closed. Sledge tracks real-time job cost and margin as invoices come in, so you know whether you are hitting your markup before it is too late to adjust.
