Vertical: General Business · Tabs: 5
Business Tools is a five-tab pricing calculator suite for general business use — applicable to any vertical when you need to build flat-rate prices, calculate an hourly rate, recover overhead costs, bundle services into a package, or analyze break-even. Each tab produces line items that insert directly into your estimate.
Tab 1 — Price Builder #
Builds flat-rate line items from cost and margin. For each item, enter the name, your cost, and the margin percentage — the sell price calculates automatically. Toggle items on or off to include or exclude them from the estimate. Mark any item as taxable if applicable. Apply pushes all enabled rows into the estimate as priced line items.
Tab 2 — Hourly Rate #
Prices service work by time. For each service, enter the service name, hourly rate, and hours — the total price calculates automatically. Multiple service rows can be built in one session. Toggle any row off to exclude it. Apply inserts all enabled service rows into the estimate.
Tab 3 — Overhead Recovery #
Calculates a per-job overhead recovery charge so fixed costs don’t come out of profit. For each overhead category, enter a label (e.g. “Overhead Recovery”), your total monthly overhead cost, and how many jobs you run per month — the overhead per job calculates automatically. Apply inserts the overhead recovery rows into the Overhead Recovery section of the estimate, keeping them visibly separate from service line items.
Tab 4 — Package Pricer #
Bundles multiple items into a single package price. Enter the package name, total cost across all included items, item count, and your markup percentage — the sell price calculates from cost plus markup. Apply inserts the package as a single line item in the estimate at the package price.
Tab 5 — Break Even #
Calculates how many units or jobs you need to cover costs. Enter your fixed costs, variable cost per unit, and price per unit. The calculator outputs the break-even unit count and the break-even revenue. This tab is a planning and analysis tool — it doesn’t insert into the estimate. Use it to validate pricing before committing to a rate: if the break-even volume is higher than your realistic sales capacity, the price needs to go up or costs need to come down.
