ZevBit breaks your business into key cost components and connects them into one system:
1. Direct Costs
These are the costs directly tied to doing work:
Field Labor
Equipment
Materials
Subcontractors
The main budget page highlighting Direct Costs
These define how much it costs to perform jobs.
2. Overhead Costs
These are the costs required to run your business:
Office expenses
Insurance
Marketing
Administrative labor
Utilities and subscriptions
Other
Scrolling down the main budget page under Overhead Tab
These costs are not tied to a specific job—but must still be recovered.
3. Overhead Recovery
ZevBit allows you to decide how overhead is distributed across your work.
Instead of guessing, you can:
Apply markups to labor, materials, or equipment
Spread overhead evenly
Or allocate it based on labor hours
Overhead Recovery Tab Page
This ensures your pricing covers your business costs.
4. Break-even Point
Your break-even point is the revenue required to:
Cover all direct costs
Cover all overhead
Overhead Recovery Tab Page
At this point, your business makes zero profit—but also no loss.
5. Profit & Sales Goal
Sales Goals Tab Page
Once break-even is defined, ZevBit helps you:
Set a target profit percentage
Calculate your required sales goal
Understand how much work you need to sell
