Most tradies find out a job lost money after it's already done

By then there's nothing you can do. The materials are bought, the hours are logged, the invoice is sent.

🧾
You quoted $3,800. You spent $3,600.
After materials, two days of labour, and a trip back for parts you forgot — you made $200. You won't know that until you sit down and add it all up. Weeks later.
📦
Costs go in your head, not anywhere useful
You remember the big stuff. But the $80 fitting from Reece, the extra hour on site, the 40km round trip — those disappear. They add up fast.
📱
Log it on site. Know your margin instantly.
Open the app, tap the job, enter the amount. Materials, labour, travel — 10 seconds. Your margin updates live so you can act before it's too late.

Three steps. No learning curve.

01
Create a job
Add the customer name, job type, and your fixed quote price. Takes 20 seconds. That's your budget locked in.
02
Log costs as they happen
Materials at the supplier, hours at end of day, kilometres driven. Tap the job, tap the category, enter the amount. Done.
03
See your margin live
Green means you're on track. Amber means watch it. Red means you need to act now — not in four weeks when you finally do the books.

Straight answers

Why am I paying before the product is built?
We're being straight with you — KnowYourMargin launches in about 6 weeks. Paying now locks in the founding member rate ($29/mo vs $39/mo) and helps us validate that this is something worth building. Think of it like Kickstarter. You'll get access as soon as it's live.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, that's the whole point. It's a web app — open it in Safari or Chrome on your phone, add it to your home screen, and it works like a native app. No download needed.
Do I need to connect it to Xero or my accounting software?
No. KnowYourMargin is standalone. Log costs directly in the app, export to CSV or Excel whenever you want to hand something to your accountant.
Is it only for plumbers?
Built with plumbers in mind, but it works for any trade on fixed-price quotes — electricians, builders, roofers, painters, landscapers. If you quote a job upfront and track costs during, it's for you.
What does "founding member rate locked in" actually mean?
The price will go up as we add features. If you join now at $29/month, that's your rate for as long as you stay subscribed — no matter what we charge new customers later.
