The Problem

Most shops use the wrong formula

How most shops calculate
SP = TC × 1.25
You asked for 25% margin. You earned 20%.
How Marginn calculates
SP = TC / (1 − 0.25)
25% margin target. 25% margin earned.

Markup and margin are not the same number. If you apply a 25% markup to recover costs, you earn a 20% margin. That 5% gap is real money leaving on every single job.

Marginn uses the correct formula. Set your target margin once. Every selling price it generates is exactly right, not approximately right.

On top of this: material, labour, machine time, and overhead are each calculated separately per piece, not lumped into a single cost estimate.
