Cost & profit — is this job making money?

For the office Updated 9 July 2026 1 min read

Cost & profit answers the question every owner asks: is this job actually making money? It reads the charge-out side against the cost side, per job and per machine.

Turnover: What the job is billing — docket hours at the job’s charge-out rate, plus any dry hire.
Cost: What it’s costing you — loaded labour (base rate plus on-costs) and machine running cost.
Margin: The gap, in dollars and as a percentage, shown live as dockets come in.

OWNER-ONLY

Cost & profit is visible to the owner only — the margins on it are nobody else’s business. It lives on the Established plan.

For the numbers to be right, set your charge-out rates (per job or machine) and your labour on-costs — see Set your charge-out rates and labour on-costs.
