It's important that we use and understand the same terminology when recapping a bid. Most of these definitions are financial terms. It's important that you are on the same page with your company's financial team when discussing these items.

here are some some of those terminology:

Overhead, overhead are the fixed costs that a business pays to administrate or run the business. They are not the costs affiliated with a particular job or project.

Profit, The amount of money the company expects to make above and beyond their overall costs. After all, that's one of the reasons we are in business, to make money.

Markup, the amount added to the cost price of goods to cover overhead and profit. So, markup is really overhead and profit combined. Cost versus price, this is pretty important.

Price: the amount of money a customer pays for that product or service.

**The difference between the price that is paid by the owner and the cost that is incurred, is the profit the business makes when the item is sold.

Good Luck
