How much money do the electrical, plumbing, drywall, ect contractors make in profit on small, new construction projects like pic related? Id be interested if there is some calculator, formula, or website to estimate things like this. Inb4 "it depends". I'm more interested what the electrical contractor makes in profit.

You're literally asking "how much does X profession make". Worse, you're asking how much a TRADE profession makes.

It's going to vary wildly depending on locale and project. The best you could do is ask around in your area (both those doing the work and those doing the hiring for the work) and figure it out from that.

I'm not asking what the individual tradesmen make

Commercial enterprises/Government usually advertise tenders. Lowest bid doesn't always win either.

It's not hard. Figure cost of materials. Figure cost of the man hours if applicable.(have a rates for everything i.e. X amount of dollars per juction box installed)Multiply by your percentage of "your time" for running the job.

Hopefully profit ?

We do new construction when needed. We have an electrical guy, but we specialize in installing food equipment. Our rates are 125/hr, and we quote at about 80/hr for long jobs per tech. Our material costs are about a 40% markup below 100, 25-30% over 100. Let's assume 1000 material costs in a small install, running new line from box to new dishwasher. 8 hours, 2 techs getting paid 28/hr.

1280 labor, 1400 materials.
2680 plus travel charges puts us at about 2900. Materials varies greatly based on job.
Company cost was just under 1500.
