Cost & profit — is this job making money?

For the office Updated 21 September 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.

Cost & profit by job for last week
Cost & profit by job: turnover, cost, profit and margin for each job, built from signed dockets and your rates.
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 Advanced 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.
