How this calculation works
Profit ÷ price is margin. Profit ÷ cost is markup. Markup = margin ÷ (1 − margin); margin = markup ÷ (1 + markup). The conversion accepts 0–99.99% margin or 0–1000% markup. BidLoom bid pricing supports a target margin of 10–60%.
Review your cleaning task hours and employer labor assumptions before building a full scope.
Calculator FAQ
Is 30% margin the same as 30% markup?
No. A 30% margin corresponds to about 42.86% markup. Margin divides profit by price; markup divides profit by cost.
Why can I convert a margin outside the bid range?
This is a general percentage converter. The cleaning bid calculator and full bid pricing use a target margin between 10% and 60%.
