Profitability — Job Costing with Cost Rates
See true margin per job by setting cost rates and reviewing profitability reports.
See margin, not just revenue
Plenix compares what a job earns against what it costs (labour, materials, expenses) to show true margin.
Set cost rates
- Go to Settings → Profitability and set cost rates (e.g. an internal hourly cost per role).
- Recorded time and costs are then valued at those rates.
Review profitability
Open Reports → Profitability to see margin by job, project, or client. Loss-making work stands out so you can re-price or re-scope it.
Tips
- Keep cost rates current so margins stay accurate.
- Review profitability before renewing a client contract.
