Aspire labels the percentage in the "Estimate Summary" box as “Gross Margin,” but it’s not. This is actually a flawed custom formula misrepresented as gross margin. If you rely on this figure as the true project gross margin % (which is understandable given how it’s labeled), you risk pricing a project where you could be upside-down financially before even starting the work, depending on your overhead.
Just a heads up: If you use this number to make pricing decisions, don’t. Instead, print the estimate summary/analysis report, which shows the actual GM% at the bottom line.
A bit shocking for a company of Aspires size and cost to have such a glaring oversight. Hopefully, Aspire will fix this soon.
