VoltPro provides detailed profit calculations and visualizations to help you understand your estimate profitability.

How VoltPro Calculates Basic Profit

For each line item:

1. Material Profit: (Price × Quantity × (1 + Markup%)) - (Cost × Quantity)

2. Fixed-Price Item Profit: (Fixed Price × Quantity) - (Cost × Quantity)

3. Labor Profit: (Labor Rate × Hours) - (Labor Cost × Hours)

The total profit is the sum of all individual item profits.

Profit Visualization

VoltPro displays profit information in a visual progress bar:

1. Green Section: Represents your profit amount

2. Yellow Section: Represents your cost amount

3. The relative sizes of these sections show your profit margin at a glance

Below the progress bar, you'll see:

• Profit amount in currency (e.g., "$1,250")

• Cost amount in currency (e.g., "$3,750")
