Subcategory cost basis for addons

This cost basis uses the chosen subcategory to calculate the addon.

Addons, or markups, are indirect costs that apply to the whole estimate. Addon amounts can be based on a wide variety of costs such as the total cost of the estimate, category costs (labor, material, and equipment, for example), or selected hours.

The addon is either a percent or currency amount of the subcategory total. Examples
