Estimate To Evidence
Make the result useful beyond the screen.
A calculator result is most useful when it feeds the job plan, material checks and team briefing that follow the estimate.
Measure the work
Use the estimate as a planning input for scope, labour, equipment and site readiness.
Plan materials
Turn quantities into stock checks, purchasing notes and job-linked material records.
Brief delivery
Give teams the assumptions, limits and checks behind the number before work starts.
Explanation
What this calculates
The calculator also shows equivalent markup so commercial teams can compare both measures.
Formula
Margin = (revenue - cost) / revenue x 100
Inputs are validated on screen and converted where unit options are available.
Worked Example
Example result
GBP1,250 revenue and GBP1,000 cost gives GBP250 profit, 20% margin and 25% markup.
