Project Profit Calculator

Enter your contract/quote amount and costs to instantly calculate net profit and margin. Nothing you enter is saved.

Sound familiar?

Not sure how much you actually made this month? Revenue looks up, but your balance feels the same, and once you subtract subcontractor fees, materials, and platform commissions, the math gets messy. Rebuilding a spreadsheet formula every time β€” or figuring out your real hourly earnings β€” isn't easy either.

Enter your income and cost items and the Profit Calculator instantly shows net profit, margin, and your real hourly rate. Nothing is saved, so run it as many times as you like.

Frequently asked questions

Is VAT/sales tax factored in automatically?

No. This calculator only subtracts the cost items you enter β€” labor, subcontractor fees, materials, and platform commissions β€” from your income to show net profit and margin. It's a simple calculation tool, not a tax tool. VAT and income tax vary a lot by industry and personal situation, so please consult a tax professional for exact figures.

Does the formula change by industry?

The formula is the same for every industry; selecting one adds a comment comparing your margin to the industry average.

Are my results saved?

Nothing is saved on our servers β€” results only exist for your current session.

How is real hourly rate calculated?

Net profit divided by hours worked, shown only if you enter hours worked.

Can I bring in a result from the quote generator?

Yes β€” the quote generator's result screen has a button to send that estimate straight here.

How was this tool built?

I added Korean and English versions across the whole site, and shipped a second free tool that instantly calculates project profit.
