A simple method:
1 Materials 225.00
2 Labor 8 hours @ 20.00 160.00
3 permit 70.00
4 Man hour overhead 8 hr@10.00 80.00
break even point 535.00
add profit 20% 107.00
Selling price 642.00
The overhead is adjustable to how many workers you have and other factors govening the job, ie distance to the job site, etc.
