How to Use This Contractor Estimate Template
Fill in your company and client details, describe the scope of work, and list your labor, material, and
subcontractor costs by category. Add your markup or margin and any applicable tax to arrive at a total. When
you're ready, click "Print / Save PDF" above and choose "Save as PDF" in your browser's print dialog to keep a
digital copy, or print it directly for an in-person signature.
Markup vs Profit Margin
Before you fill in the markup line, it's worth knowing that markup and profit
margin are different calculations that produce different numbers for the same job — markup is
calculated from your cost, margin is calculated from your selling price. Try the free
markup calculator or margin calculator to
see exactly what your selling price and profit should be before you fill in this template.
