This will show up at the bottom of your Quote Details page within a report. This is viewable only from within SumoQuote and will not be part of the report sent to your customer. - **Material** = the total of all price list items that include a **material** price or only list a **total** price. - **Labor** = the total of all price list items that include a **labor** price. - **COGS** = "Cost of Goods & Services" is the combined labor and material price. - **Profit** = the profit from your margin or mark up. Use the margin slider to increase or decrease this value. - **Quote Total** = includes any taxes applied. *\*Material, Labor, COGS and Profit do not include tax.* ### Enabling Profitability #### Enable Price Breakdown 1. Go to **Configuration** > **Account Settings** > **Products & Pricing** 2. Under the **Profit Settings** heading click on **Edit**. 3. Turn the toggle on under **Profitability** to show the **Total Breakdown** on your quote details page. 4. Click **Save** before leaving the page. **⚠️ Designate your Costs as either Material or Labor** In order to accurately reflect your material and labor costs in the total breakdown, the costs entered into your price list items must be designated as either **Material** or **Labor**. Bulk pricing (when a total price is entered in your price list item) will default to the "material" breakdown. #### View Price Breakdown 1. Open any project and open a report for editing. 2. Navigate to the **Quote Details** page and scroll to the bottom of the page. 3. Click on the double **down arrows** to reveal the breakdown. 4. Use the margin slider to increase or decrease your profit margin. 5. Changes will be automatically saved. - [Getting started](https://support.sumoquote.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Onboarding](https://support.sumoquote.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#onboarding) - [Branding](https://support.sumoquote.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#branding) - [Setup](https://support.sumoquote.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#setup) - [Account Settings](https://support.sumoquote.com/account-settings?hsLang=en) - [Subscription](https://support.sumoquote.com/subscription?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Subscription Management](https://support.sumoquote.com/subscription?hsLang=en#subscription-management) - [Dashboard](https://support.sumoquote.com/dashboard?hsLang=en) - [Templates](https://support.sumoquote.com/templates?hsLang=en) - [Layouts](https://support.sumoquote.com/layouts?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Custom Pages](https://support.sumoquote.com/layouts?hsLang=en#custom-pages) - [Inspection Page](https://support.sumoquote.com/inspection-page?hsLang=en) - [Measurements and Calculations](https://support.sumoquote.com/measurements-and-calculations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Measurements](https://support.sumoquote.com/measurements-and-calculations?hsLang=en#measurements) - [Calculations](https://support.sumoquote.com/measurements-and-calculations?hsLang=en#calculations) - [Product and Price Lists](https://support.sumoquote.com/product-and-price-lists?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Price Lists and Adjustments](https://support.sumoquote.com/product-and-price-lists?hsLang=en#price-lists-and-adjustments) - [Product Lists](https://support.sumoquote.com/product-and-price-lists?hsLang=en#product-lists) - [Financials](https://support.sumoquote.com/financials?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Orders](https://support.sumoquote.com/financials?hsLang=en#orders) - [Margins and Markups](https://support.sumoquote.com/financials?hsLang=en#margins-and-markups) - [Taxes](https://support.sumoquote.com/financials?hsLang=en#taxes) - [Invoicing](https://support.sumoquote.com/financials?hsLang=en#invoicing) - [eSigning](https://support.sumoquote.com/esigning?hsLang=en) - [Solar](https://support.sumoquote.com/solar?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Creating a Solar Project](https://support.sumoquote.com/solar?hsLang=en#creating-a-solar-project) - [Creating a Solar Report](https://support.sumoquote.com/solar?hsLang=en#creating-a-solar-report) - [Integrations](https://support.sumoquote.com/integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Beacon](https://support.sumoquote.com/integrations?hsLang=en#beacon) - [Hover](https://support.sumoquote.com/integrations?hsLang=en#hover) - [CompanyCam](https://support.sumoquote.com/integrations?hsLang=en#companycam) - [EagleView](https://support.sumoquote.com/integrations?hsLang=en#eagleview) - [JobNimbus](https://support.sumoquote.com/integrations?hsLang=en#jobnimbus) - [Leap](https://support.sumoquote.com/integrations?hsLang=en#leap) - [QuickBooks Online](https://support.sumoquote.com/integrations?hsLang=en#quickbooks-online) - [RoofScope](https://support.sumoquote.com/integrations?hsLang=en#roofscope) - [Sunlight Financial](https://support.sumoquote.com/integrations?hsLang=en#sunlight-financial) - [Zapier](https://support.sumoquote.com/integrations?hsLang=en#zapier) - [AccuLynx](https://support.sumoquote.com/integrations?hsLang=en#acculynx) - [Financing](https://support.sumoquote.com/integrations?hsLang=en#financing) - [FAQs](https://support.sumoquote.com/faqs?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.sumoquote.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Vertical%20Logo%20Colour.png?width=48&height=24&name=Vertical%20Logo%20Colour.png "Chill listening crop-3")](http://www.jobnimbus.com) SumoQuote Help Center Copyright © 2026, JobNimbus
