Are materials being marked up, missed, wasted, or eaten?

Start with the best numbers you have. A directional result is useful when it leads to better questions, not when it pretends to be final.

Material Recovery Calculator

Rough math is the doorway.

The Checkup is where the rough math gets connected to pricing, labor, receivables, tax questions, systems, or value risk.

How to read this

Markup discipline needs evidence

A material gap can come from missed billing, free warranty parts, rush purchases, discounts, waste, or inventory that never gets reconciled.

Calculator questions

Why is this only directional?

Small changes in assumptions can move the answer. The Checkup tests those assumptions against the actual business.

Can I use rough numbers?

Yes. Rough numbers are enough to understand whether the issue may matter. They are not enough for a final decision.

Does the calculator store my result?

The estimate stays on the page unless you submit the form to send or discuss it.
