⚠ REFERENCE ONLY — Bill rates shown here use this margin for display. The Crew Builder uses its own independent equipment margin. · Default set to 18%: equipment carries OH (8.13%) + GL (1.5%) = 9.63% burden, so anything below 9.63% nets negative — 18% targets real margin after burden.

These rates stack on top of base wage + CBA fringes before any margin is applied. Set them once — they drive the Labor Rate tab, Crew Builder, and all margin calculations.
⚡ OH (8.13%) + GL (1.5%) = 9.63% burden on equipment — margin must exceed 9.63% just to break even on net. 15% is the practical floor; 16–18% recommended on heavy iron.

Enter the sub's crew and equipment at broker bill rates. BCU's take is calculated two ways — adjust the percentage with the +/− controls. Note: the gross margin column uses BCU's cost basis as a proxy — you'll never know the sub's actual overhead, so their true margin is their business.
