Profit by job
See which individual activities earned or lost money instead of relying only on the project total.
Real profit = Total billed value − Total actual cost
Why the estimate is not the final profit
Quantities, working methods and scope can change during construction. The estimate remains useful as the original budget, but it cannot show final profitability by itself. ActualCost keeps estimated values visible while using billings and recorded costs for the real result.
Profit by project
Combine the billed and actual values of all jobs into the current project result.
Staged billings
Add more than one billing to the same job; the billed labour, material and subcontractor values accumulate.
Original estimate retained
Keep the initial estimate available for learning and future pricing without treating it as revenue received.
