Job & Service Margin Reality Check Pack
Find out whether your busiest jobs, services, customers, or projects are actually helping profit — or quietly draining margin.
Many service businesses stay busy without realizing that certain jobs, service lines, callbacks, labor patterns, or pricing gaps are weakening profitability. This pack gives you a practical way to review the real cost picture behind your work so you can make better pricing, scheduling, staffing, and service mix decisions.
This upgraded version includes both an editable Excel workbook with built-in calculations and printable branded PDF worksheets.

Printable Job & Service Margin Worksheet
Review sales price, labor, materials, subcontractors, callbacks, discounts, equipment use, overhead burden, gross profit, and gross margin.
Printable Estimate vs. Actual Review Template
Compare estimated numbers against actual results so you can identify where margin erosion is happening.
Printable Labor Burden Checklist
Review labor costs that often get missed, including payroll taxes, workers’ compensation, benefits, PTO, overtime, training, travel time, support, tools, and equipment.
