every service has a cost field next to price. fill it in and mockingbird computes margin per service. average margin shows up on the dashboard.

3 steps~2 min

1
open the service
the cost field sits next to price.
2
type your cost
for services, cost is your true expense — labor for an employee at their hourly rate, materials, anything else that scales with the service. don't include overhead like rent.
3
the dashboard shows average margin
the mockingbird shell shows margin context across your services. low-margin services are signals to either raise the price or stop offering them.
tip
for owner-operator businesses, you can leave cost at 0 — your time is the cost and your time is the revenue. cost matters most when you have employees doing the work and you want to know which services pay.
