// Chargeable prices & margin

Know what you make,
not just what you spend.

Most job tracking stops at cost – what you pay your team and subcontractors. Profitability adds the other side: what you charge your client. Give every task a charge price or a markup, and DuoApp shows your margin to date and your forecast margin as the job goes on. Only admins ever see charge prices and margins.

Who sees margins
What you pay and what you charge sit side by side on the same task, so your margin is worked out for you – no separate spreadsheet of client prices to keep in step with the job.
// How it works

Add what you charge. Watch the margin.

01

Add what you charge

Give each task a charge price – what your client pays – or a markup on what the task costs you.

02

Update prices in bulk

Change hundreds of task prices at once, rather than opening tasks one by one.

03

See margin to date

See the margin you’ve made on the project so far, alongside what it’s cost you.

04

See forecast margin

See where the margin is heading for the whole job, so a thin one shows up before it’s too late.

// Cost · Charge · Margin

Both sides of every task, in one place.

Your cost comes from the work as it’s priced and paid in DuoApp. Add the charge side, and every task, plot and project shows what it’s really making.

// Why it matters

Busy isn’t the same as profitable.

See the real picture

Cost alone tells you what a job is taking out of the business. With charge prices alongside, you see what it’s putting back in.

Spot thin margins early

Forecast margin shows where the whole job is heading, not just what’s happened – so you can act while there’s still work left to price.

Kept to admins

Only admins ever see charge prices and margins. Site teams and subcontractors carry on seeing the work they need, and nothing more.

  • A charge price or a markup on every task
  • Margin to date and forecast margin
  • Hundreds of task prices updated at once
  • Charge prices and margins visible to admins only
