Foreman Profit/Loss Calculator | m² × Price − Wages

How is foreman profit/loss calculated?

A foreman or crew lead can estimate weekly or monthly operating result from completed m², the unit price received from the subcontractor, and wages paid to the crew. This is not accounting net profit — it is a site-level operating view.

Steps

1. Enter completed work quantity (m²).
2. Enter the m² unit price from the subcontractor.
3. Enter worker count, days worked and daily wage.
4. Add other costs if any (materials, equipment hire, transport).
5. Read revenue, wage total and estimated profit/loss in the results panel.

Formula

Revenue = m²_done × unit_price. Wage cost = workers × days × daily_wage. Estimated profit/loss = revenue − wages − other_costs. Profit per m² = profit/loss ÷ m²_done.

What this calculation excludes

Meals, shuttle, lodging, tax, deductions, advances and rework are excluded unless entered under Other costs. True accounting net profit needs those items too.

Practical tips

• Unit price varies by trade (formwork, rebar, masonry); use the contracted rate.
• For a weekly view use 5–6 days; for monthly use actual worked days.
• If you show a loss, review wages and other costs first, then unit price.
• Results are guidance; confirm with timesheets and progress billing.

Application note

Results are guidance only. There is no fixed price list; final billing and deductions are set by contract.
