Calculate the profitability of a quote

For each line, the selling price and the cost; add the discount and the job costs: you see the real margin of the quote and the price to offer to reach your target.

All amounts are excl. VAT, in MAD.

The method

Turnover excl. VAT = total of lines − overall discount. Costs = line costs + job costs. Margin = turnover − costs; margin rate = margin ÷ turnover.

The break-even point

This is the turnover excl. VAT below which the quote costs you money: it equals your total costs. A negotiated discount always comes out of the margin, never out of the costs.

Reaching the target margin

Price excl. VAT needed = costs ÷ (1 − target margin). If you give a discount, divide again by (1 − discount) to get the price to show before discount.

Good practice

Cost everything, including travel and time spent outside billing. State how long the quote is valid, and have it signed before you start: in BILLX, online signature and conversion into an invoice take one click.
