PCOs price as a markup on cost, with sales tax, to the penny

PCO pricing treated the profit % as a margin on the sell price and rounded every line to the whole dollar. A PCO with $27,328.53 of cost at 5% overhead and 10% profit showed $27,329 cost and a $4,555 markup. Now overhead and profit are both taken on cost and added: price = cost × (1 + OH% + profit%). Before tax, that same PCO prices at $31,427.81, a $4,099.28 markup, and the builder and the printed PCO show every amount to the penny. The column formerly labeled Margin% is now Profit%, and percentages keep their decimals (7.5% stays 7.5%).

Material lines now include sales tax at the rate the job was bid at: the estimate behind the contract, or your organization's default. The tax is part of the line's cost before overhead and profit, the same way your estimate prices it. On that same PCO, 10.25% tax on $8,910.93 of material adds $913.38, for a sell of $32,478.20. The builder and the printed PCO show the tax as its own line.

Draft PCOs reprice the next time you edit one of their lines. Submitted and executed PCOs keep the price they went out at.
