Business economics

Give overhead and profit a place in every quote.

$
A share of business costs such as insurance, software, advertising, phone and storage that are not direct job expenses.
%
The percentage your payment provider takes from the customer’s payment. Use your actual fee; it is a percentage of the selling price, not your job costs.
%
The share of the selling price you want to keep after the entered job costs and payment fees. A 30% margin means keeping $30 of each $100 charged. It is not the same as adding 30% to costs.
$
Your smallest worthwhile service call, even for a tiny job. This is a true price floor. Urgency is added first, then any discount is limited so your final quote never falls below this minimum.
%
An optional extra allowance calculated as a percentage of direct job costs. It is added to allocated overhead. Use it only for expenses you have not already counted.

Walk the job before you quote.

Choose the service and record the surface, condition, and access. Count setup, cleaning, and pack-up time. Access and stories help describe the scope; they do not silently add a percentage to the price.

Make the estimate specific.

Print the customer estimate with the agreed scope and final price. Before sharing it, confirm tax, terms, and exclusions. Your internal costs and profit figures stay in the on-screen breakdown.
