Your markup, exactly where your business needs it
The Markup Distributor spreads your tender’s markup evenly across every section by default — and gives you the flexibility to shift it when cash flow calls for it. Built right into Esti-mate Electrical.
The Problem
Your markup shouldn’t be stuck wherever the tender math put it
Once a tender’s locked in, your markup is spread exactly where the calculations landed it — not necessarily where your business needs it. If cash flow gets tight and you need funds from a job sooner rather than later, a fixed split gives you nowhere to move.
No visibility into where your profit actually sits
Markup locked into a fixed split across the job
No way to bring cash forward when you need it
Stuck waiting on markup from trades that finish last
How It Works
Distribute it automatically. Adjust it when you need to.
01
Markup spreads automatically
Every tender's total markup is spread proportionally across each section by default, so your pricing lines up exactly with what you quoted.
02
See it, section by section
View the percentage, markup value and line total for every section of the job, all in one table.
03
Shift it when it matters
Need to bring cash forward? Manually move markup between sections — pull it off trades finishing later in the job and onto ones finishing earlier.
Use with care
We recommend leaving the default distribution in place unless you have a specific reason to change it.
Front-loading markup can leave you short by the back end of the job.
Who It’s For
Built for contractors managing more than just the estimate
Business owners managing cash flow
When you need funds to land earlier in a job, not just wherever the tender math puts them.
Multi-section tenders
Any tender broken into multiple sections benefits from a clear, section-by-section markup breakdown.
Growing teams
Running more jobs at once means knowing exactly where your markup sits across every project.
Why It Matters
Control over your markup is control over your cash flow
The default setting keeps your pricing matched to your tender automatically — no extra work required. But when your business needs the flexibility, it’s there. The call is always yours.
