Use Margin instead of Markup

Feature Requests

The platform uses markup instead of margin which is a bad way to estimate overhead and profit.
-Margin is the percentage of the final selling price that represents your profit. This ensures your Overhead and Profit are covered.
- Markup is a percentage added to the cost to set the selling price.

    Hello, contractors can now calculate estimates in term of margins instead of markups! You can set item level margin, group level margin, or the target margin for your entire estimate.

    Margin is calculated as: (the final client price - builder’s cost) / (the final client price), all before tax.
