How it works

Most trade contractors only track direct wages per job, missing the full cost of labor burden — payroll taxes, workers' comp, and benefits that can add 25–40% on top of wages.

Calculating and posting burden allocations manually every pay period is the kind of tedious accounting work that gets skipped when the shop is busy.

True Loaded Labor Cost Per Job

Automatically calculate and allocate wages, payroll taxes, workers' comp, and benefits to each job — giving you your real cost of labor, not just gross wages.

Stop living in spreadsheets

Without accurate per-job labor costs, your project profitability reports are unreliable — making it hard to bid future work with confidence.

FAQ

Any Questions?

Any Questions?

What labor burden costs can CostAllocation Pro track per job?

CAP can allocate any employee cost category you define — gross wages, employer payroll taxes, workers' compensation, health insurance, retirement contributions, and any other burden costs you track.

Does CAP work with field service management tools like ServiceTitan or Jobber?

CostAllocation Pro accepts CSV imports from any system, including field service management platforms. Export your time and payroll data and import it directly into CAP.

How often should we run allocations?

Most trade contractors run allocations each pay period (weekly or biweekly), which keeps job cost reports current and makes month-end close much faster.
