This job is in progress. Costs and revenue may arrive at different times; profit to date is not a forecast of final profit.
What if materials get more expensive?
With estimated materials increasing by 10%, estimated profit becomes $0.00. Keeping the same dollar profit would require $0.00 in revenue. This scenario does not change your saved estimate.
How to use this tool
Compare your original bid with costs incurred as work progresses. Record owner labor, supplier bills, subcontractors, and overhead to see where profit changes. A negative cost difference means under the full budget so far, not necessarily money saved. Review completed jobs to improve your next estimate.
