A rough per-job share of costs that aren't labor or materials — fuel, vehicle wear, tool depreciation, permits, insurance, and admin time. Many trades estimate this as a flat dollar amount or a percentage of labor cost per job.
It varies by trade, but most contractors target 20-40% gross margin on a job after labor, materials, and overhead. Under 15% leaves little room for the unexpected — a slow week, a warranty callback, or rising material costs.
Margin is profit as a percentage of the price you charge. Markup is profit as a percentage of your cost. A job with $100 in costs priced at $130 has a 30% markup, but only a 23% margin — they're easy to mix up when pricing jobs.
