Common questions
Why use margin instead of simply adding markup?
Target-margin pricing solves directly for the selling price that leaves the desired percentage of revenue after the entered cost basis.
Does this include sales tax?
Only if you include it in the inputs.
Is this a bid template?
It is a pricing calculator, not a contract or scope-of-work document.
