# Understanding Quote Profitability

Quotes now show profitability directly on the quote, so you can see revenue, cost, profit, and margin before you approve it. Profitability appears in two places: the financial cards at the top of the quote, and the **Cost** and **Margin %** columns for each product in the *Products and Services* section.

Each financial card at the top of the quote is defined below. Most cards also show the amount that comes from recurring products (**MRR**) and the amount that comes from one-time products (**One-Time**).

| No. | Label | Definition |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | **Revenue** | The total amount charged on the quote, not including tax. The **MRR** and **One-Time** amounts are shown beneath the total. |
| 2 | **Cost** | The total cost of the products on the quote, with the **MRR** and **One-Time** amounts shown beneath the total. |
| 3 | **Tax** | The total tax on the quote. |
| 4 | **Profit** | The revenue minus the cost, with the **MRR** and **One-Time** amounts shown beneath the total. |
| 5 | **Margin %** | The profit as a percentage of the revenue, with the **MRR** and **One-Time** margins shown beneath the total. |

To see profitability for each product, expand a service in the *Products and Services* section. The *Products* list for the service includes the following columns.

| No. | Label | Definition |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | **Product** | Name of the product. |
| 2 | **Type** | Whether the product is recurring or one-time. Recurring products are included in the **MRR** amounts on the financial cards, and one-time products are included in the **One-Time** amounts. |
| 3 | **Provider** | Provider of the product. |
| 4 | **Rate** | Price of the product. |
| 5 | **Cost** | Cost of the product. |
| 6 | **Quantity** | Quantity of the product on the quote. |
| 7 | **Total** | Total charge for the product. |
| 8 | **Margin %** | Margin percentage for the product, based on its rate and cost. |

| NOTE: Products that do not have a cost show a margin of 100%, and the margin on the quote will be higher than your actual margin until costs are entered. |

The financial cards and product columns update as you add, edit, or remove products and when you adjust pricing. See the [Adjusting Quote Pricing](https://help.psarev.io/en/article/adjusting-quote-pricing) article for more information about applying a markup or markdown to the price or cost of products on a quote.
