Installation kit margin Calculator
Calculate installation kit margin from gross profit and selling price for brackets, fasteners, templates, touch-up supplies, instructions, and field hardware. Use it when a fixture, cabinet, or interior products supplier sells installation kits and needs to confirm that hardware, packaging, freight, and kitting cost still meet margin targets.
