How this works

What a parts matrix is

A parts matrix is a sliding scale. Cheap parts get a higher markup because the dollars are small. Expensive parts get a lower markup because the dollars are already big. It makes every quote consistent, so you are not guessing a price on every part.

Markup is not margin

Markup is your profit as a percent of what you paid. Margin is your profit as a percent of what the customer pays. A part that costs you $50 and sells for $100 is 100 percent markup but 50 percent margin. The table shows both so you never mix them up.

The starting numbers are yours to change

The bands that load with the tool are only a starting layout so the table is not empty. They are not a recommendation. Change every band and percent to fit your market and your parts suppliers.

Common questions

What is the difference between markup and margin?

Markup is profit divided by your cost. Margin is profit divided by the sell price. 100 percent markup is the same as 50 percent margin.

How many bands should a parts matrix have?

Enough to cover cheap, mid and expensive parts without being a chore. Most techs are fine with four to seven bands. Add or remove rows until it fits the parts you buy.

Do I have to show customers my markup?

No. You quote a sell price. The matrix is your own cheat sheet so the price is the same no matter what day it is.
