Markup

Permits & fees$150.00
Subtotal (cost)$5,950.00
Total project price$7,437.50
Equipment scales with SEER
Equipment cost is base + tonnage, multiplied by the SEER tier — a 20-SEER condenser is roughly 2× a 14-SEER one. Markup then applies to the full job, not just equipment.
equipment = (base + tons × per-ton) × SEER multiplier
subtotal = equipment + labor + ductwork + permits
total = subtotal × (1 + markup%)
Field notes

What goes into the number.

01

Equipment costs

Driven by system type, tonnage, and efficiency. Heat pumps and geothermal carry a higher base; tonnage adds a per-ton increment on top.
02

Labor

Rate × install hours. A ductless head goes fast; new ductwork or a furnace swap eats a day. Use realistic hours, not best-case.
03

SEER tiers

Higher SEER means a pricier condenser and coil — modeled here as a multiplier (14→1.0, 20→2.0). Sell the efficiency, but price it in.
04

Professional markup

Markup rides on the whole job so the estimate stays profitable while competitive. This is a planning estimate — confirm live equipment pricing before you quote.
