How the margin works
1

Configure your rates

Set your labor, disposal, and fuel rates per location — once.

2

We do the math

Every estimate rolls those costs into a live margin automatically.

3

See it before you commit

A clear read tells you whether the job clears your target — at the point of quote.

What it does

The whole cost of the job, in one number.

💵

Live margin on every estimate — labor + disposal + fuel

All three cost drivers calculated automatically.

You know your net before you commit to a price — no more gut-feel bids.
🗑️

Disposal cost in every estimate

Facility / transfer-station rates factored into the job cost.

Disposal is priced in up front — you don't eat the bill.
👷

Labor cost model — crew size × time × rate

Calculates crew cost from your configured hourly rates.

Every quote reflects what the job actually costs to run.
⛽

Fuel calculation — distance and truck type

Accounts for drive time and fuel per job.

No more absorbing fuel as overhead; it's in every price.
📊

Margin % displayed on the estimate screen

Instant visual on whether you're above your target.

Owners and crew leads make better calls at the point of quote.
🎛️

Configurable cost targets per franchise / location

Each territory sets its own labor and overhead rates.

Operators price for their market, not a national average.
What goes into the number

Labor. Disposal. Fuel. All three, every time.

Most operators have a feel for disposal costs. Fewer account for the true labor hours on a messy job, and almost nobody builds fuel in line-by-line. CrewLogicAI rolls all three into a single margin number — so the estimate screen tells you the whole story, not just the top line.

Your floor, your call

Set a target margin. See instantly if you're above it.

Configure your target gross margin in settings. Every estimate shows where it lands against that target — so owners know at a glance if a quote needs adjustment, before it goes to the customer.

End the margin surprises

See profit before you commit, not after the job closes.

🗑️

Disposal is the hidden killer

Jobs priced without real disposal math bleed margin quietly.

👀

One number your whole team trusts

Labor, disposal, and fuel in one line — no reconciliation needed.
