Formula
- Use the units shown beside each field.
- Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
- Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
- Margin is profit divided by price, not markup on cost. Loaded cost must already reflect nonbillable time if applicable.
Example Calculation
- Loaded delivery cost per hour: 60
- Target gross margin: 25 %
Loaded delivery cost per hour = 60; Target gross margin = 25 %. The primary result is 80.

Enter loaded delivery cost per hour, target gross margin. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.
What method does it use?
bill rate=loaded hourly cost/(1−margin).. Margin is profit divided by price, not markup on cost. Loaded cost must already reflect nonbillable time if applicable.
Why might a rounded result differ?
The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.
