How it works
Add expenses and reserve
Direct non-labour expenses and percentage contingency create the modelled delivery cost.
Measure gross profit
Delivery cost is subtracted from revenue, and the difference is divided by revenue for gross margin.

Frequently asked questions
Is gross profit the same as net profit?
No. Gross profit here excludes operating expenses, tax, financing, and other business costs unless you deliberately include them as direct project expenses.
What rate should I use for labour?
Use a blended internal cost, not necessarily a client billing rate. Include the employment or supplier costs your margin policy treats as delivery cost.
Can margin be negative?
Yes. If modelled delivery cost exceeds revenue, the tool reports a gross loss and a negative margin in the summary.
