Find where your last three quotes lost money.

Enter your last three jobs. See true cost, profit and margin on each, with a flag on any job that lost money or ran thin.

Excel file. No email required.


Three steps.

  1. Open it in Excel on a computer. Replace the example row with your last job.
  2. Enter the price you charged, your real hours (prep, second trips, supply runs, cleanup), materials, subs or rentals, and any extra work you did not bill.
  3. Read the Result column. LOSS or THIN means one of your inputs was off when you quoted. Find which one. That is the leak.
Markup is not margin. A 25% markup on cost is only a 20% margin on price. Pricing on markup leaves money on the table.

A rough check, on your own numbers.

It is not tax or legal advice. The 20% margin flag is a placeholder, so set your own floor. Built for Excel on a computer; Google Sheets and phone apps are not fully tested.

If it finds something, the full kit adds price scenarios, change orders, estimate vs actual and a customer-ready quote.
