Pricing & Profit
Most pricing mistakes happen before the customer sees a number: a cost left out, a margin confused with markup, or an hourly rate that forgets the hours nobody pays for.
Work out a price from the costs of a job or from the income you need, check margin, markup and break-even, publish a price list, and compare what a job was expected to make with what it actually made.
