In the Project statements area of the Project management and accounting parameters form, you can choose how the profit calculations that you can make in the Project statements form are made.

The parameter setup affects the output of the Factors fields on the General tab in the Project statements form.

Profit calculation can be based on either the gross margin or the value-added amount, and it can be viewed as a percentage or a factor.

If you choose to calculate profit based on a value-added ratio in the Project management and accounting parameters form, you can define the ratio in the following ways:

  • Value-added factor – Value-added amount ÷ hour costs

  • Value-added ratio – Value-added amount x 100 ÷ revenue

  • Value-added markup percentage – Value-added amount x 100 ÷ hour costs

If you choose to calculate profit based on the gross margin ratio in the Project management and accounting parameters form, you can define the ratio in the following ways:

  • Markup factor – Gross margin ÷ total costs

  • Contribution ratio – Gross margin x 100 ÷ revenue

  • Markup percentage – Gross margin x 100 ÷ total costs
