How the calculation works
Direct costs are the labor, materials, equipment, subcontractor, disposal, and permit entries. Gross profit is revenue minus those direct costs. The overhead allocation is the percentage you entered multiplied by revenue. Modeled net profit subtracts both direct cost and overhead allocation from revenue.
The output is only as useful as the inputs. Compare estimated costs with closed-job actuals and update the assumptions instead of treating a target percentage as a universal industry benchmark.
