How to set a markup and see the profit on an item
Designers need to know how much the studio earns on every estimate item, from furniture to finishing materials. ArchiBoard shows the whole chain from purchase price to the client's final price while keeping the commercial data hidden from the client.
- 1
Switch to «Economics» mode
In the estimate, switch to «Economics» mode. You will see the full pricing chain for every item: RRP, supplier discount, purchase price, markup, profit and the final client price.
- 2
Enter the purchase price
Enter the RRP (recommended retail price) and the supplier discount, and the purchase price is calculated automatically. Or enter the purchase price directly.
- 3
Set the markup
Enter the markup as a percentage or enter the profit amount you want. The related values are recalculated: change the percentage and the amount updates, change the amount and the percentage updates.

Check the final price
The last column shows the final client price. All intermediate figures (purchase, markup, profit) are visible only to you.
Good to know
- The client does not see the purchase, markup and profit columns in the PDF estimate or in the client portal unless you turn them on yourself.
- You can work with percentages or amounts — both values stay in sync automatically.
- «Economics» mode helps you quickly assess the project's margin and adjust the markup on individual items.
