Labor Costs: $0.00
Materials: $0.00

How it's calculated:
1. Direct Costs = Labor + Materials + Equipment + Other
2. Overhead = Direct Costs × Overhead %
3. Subtotal = Direct Costs + Overhead
4. Contingency = Subtotal × Contingency %
5. Total Budget = Subtotal + Contingency

This budget provides a comprehensive estimate including all direct costs, operational overhead, and a contingency reserve for unexpected expenses.
