Bid, materials, hours, and a burdened rate. Defaults are the Ridge HVAC EXAMPLE: bid $2,480 · materials $982 · 7 hours · $90/hr → actual $1,612 · margin $868 · 35%. Nothing is stored.
The formula, in plain English
Actual cost = materials + (hours × burdened labor rate). Margin dollars = bid − actual cost. Margin percent = margin dollars ÷ bid. Ridge check: 982 + (7 × 90) = 1,612. 2,480 − 1,612 = 868. 868 ÷ 2,480 = 35%. If you only have a wage, load it first on the labor burden calculator.
This is a sketch. CostPerJob keeps bid + costs on the job scorecard.
