Epoxy flooring profit margin
What’s left from each square foot after materials, crew wages and overhead, for every floor type in our course. The numbers come from our own jobs.
Where the numbers come from
- Our profit per job in Slovakia from our CRM, plus 30%, because our own prices sit at the low end of the market.
- Adjusted to the US by GDP per capita (Eurostat 2025), so the profit and the crew cost are higher than in Slovakia.
- Materials in whole kits at our wholesale price, the price graduates pay.
- Crew wages and overhead from the rates in our CRM.
- Your local prices and costs may differ.

Why metallic and marble-effect floors pay more
Customers pay for the look, so metallic and marble-effect floors sell for more per square foot. In our numbers they leave the most from every square foot, even though they use the most material.
Why industrial floors pay less per square foot
Warehouse and factory floors are priced lower per square foot, so you keep less from each one. A single job is big, though, which is why we only count industrial floors from 2,700 sq ft.
