What the result is useful for
Print Job Profit Calculator is useful for quoting and job review because revenue alone does not show whether setup, materials, labor, finishing and waste leave enough gross profit.
How the calculation works
Gross profit = revenue − entered direct cost; gross margin and return on direct cost are calculated separately.
What this calculator cannot know
The result includes only the costs and volumes entered. Taxes, financing, downtime, reprints, overhead, minimum charges, waste and opportunity cost may need separate treatment.
