Mon Feb 02 2026
Today we talk about creating a Budget in your business, choosing an Overhead Recovery Method to markup Cost of Goods Sold to recover overhead in every estimate, finding your rates for employees and equipment based on an Overhead Recovery Method and how they differ, and using Direct Labor Efficiency Ratio and Management Labor Efficiency Ratio to create a salary cap for your team.
This episode goes over a new Budgeting Spreadsheet we created that you can purchase or sign up for our Budgeting Workshops to get some help with it. These features are also available in our Headquarters Software with more advanced offerings.
