Am I charging enough?

Pick your trade and enter company gross margin. Choose a target to model the gross-profit difference on the same revenue. Planning references are not measured company-margin percentiles; individual job margins use a different population.

Question 1 of 3

What kind of work do you do?

Service-heavy vs. project-heavy makes a huge difference. So does residential vs. commercial.

Company gross margin uses total revenue and consistent direct costs. The Level Index offers separate job-level observations; it does not establish these company planning references as percentiles. See the Level Index and its population.

Operating review

Questions before trusting a margin report

The margin, cash, and operating questions we check first when reviewing your numbers.

Does the job margin include the labor you actually incurred?

Entered hourly rates and payroll cost can use different periods and burden definitions.

Evidence to request: Compare job hours, payroll service dates and employer burden before repricing work.

Are supplier returns and later bills in the same job population?

A dashboard can describe costs available today without including every adjustment relevant to the requested cutoff.

Evidence to request: Trace the purchase, return and late bill to the job and accounting period instead of treating an unexplained difference as zero.

Which overhead belongs in the decision?

A direct-cost margin and a fully loaded profitability view answer different management questions.

Evidence to request: State the cost basis and allocation assumptions before comparing customers or service lines.
