Customer page or portal. On Housecall Pro: not on its plan table. Every customer gets one link to see the visit, sign, pay and book again.
Worked example: a kitchen with $26,500 of job costs
A kitchen with $26,500 of job costs, priced for a 35% gross margin, on the free profit margin calculator, comes to $53,000 (35% margin after 15% overhead).
| Step | The math |
|---|---|
| Job cost | $14,000 materials + $11,000 labor + $1,500 other = $26,500 |
| Price | $26,500 ÷ (1 − 35% margin − 15% overhead) = $53,000 |
| Gross profit | $53,000 − $26,500 = $26,500 |
| Gross margin | $26,500 ÷ $53,000 price = 50% |
| Markup | $26,500 ÷ $26,500 cost = 100% |
| Overhead share | 15% of $53,000 = $7,950 |
This job leaves $26,500 over its costs. A year of Housecall Pro Max for one person is $3,588, about 14% of that one job's gross profit. Koira Office is free.
