Pro Tips for Material Markup Price

  1. Markup percentage on materials often differs from markup on labor — confirm your specific pricing strategy applies the intended rate to each cost category.
  2. Track actual material costs against invoiced amounts periodically to confirm your markup is being applied consistently across jobs.

Common Material Markup Price Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using the same markup percentage for materials and labor without confirming that matches your actual intended pricing strategy, since many contractors intentionally use different rates for each.
