About overhead and profit rates

Note: This functionality is available only if you have the Estimating Module.

You can choose from three different methods to set up the overhead and profit rates:

• Assign different overhead and profit rates by bid item.
• Assign overhead and profit rates by cost types.
• Assign overhead and profit rates by typing the overhead and profit rate values in the appropriate grid cells.

Note: Sage 100 Contractor only calculates overhead and profit for each item that has an overhead or profit rate in the grid.
