Supply markup calculator
Markup on the invoice cost is not the same as margin, and waste never makes it onto the customer’s receipt unless you put it there.
True cost = invoice × (1 + waste). Price before tax = true cost × (1 + markup). Tax, when it is on, is calculated on that price and added after.
Numbers stay in this browser. This is shop math, not tax, legal, or lending advice.

- Job cost vs priceA price can look fine on the estimate and still pay less than the burdened hour. This puts the current quote next to cost and next to the margin you said you wanted.
- Deposit riskThe deposit you keep is not the risk. The risk is the uncovered balance times the chance they never show.
- Break-even priceCheck a single service against the hourly pay you want. One price, not a whole menu.
