What is job costing?
Job costing is the calculating of costs connected with a project. By using project costing software, you can keep track of your job costings, including:
Labour
These costs relate to the staff who will be working on a project. Calculate their rate and multiply that by the hours you've estimated the job.
Materials
Every job requires parts, tools and other physical materials. Their price is often fixed, so factor this into your cost projection for a job.
Overhead
These are the general costs required to run your business. These could include rent, insurance, accounting, billing, and office equipment.
