Project pricing example

For 100 hours at $60 per hour, $1,000 in direct expenses and $1,000 in overhead, a 10% contingency adds $800 to the $8,000 base cost. A 25% target profit adds $2,200, for an $11,000 exact quote.

About this calculator

How the project price is calculated

Labor cost is estimated hours multiplied by your internal hourly rate. Direct expenses and allocated overhead form the base project cost. Contingency is added to that base before target profit or margin is applied. Expected profit is the quoted price less adjusted project cost.

Use project pricing as a reference

Project pricing should also reflect client value, competitive conditions, scope risk and market positioning. This calculator provides a financial pricing reference point.

Frequently asked questions

Is the recommended price the only correct quote?

No. It is a financial reference point based on your inputs. Consider client value, scope, competition, risk and market positioning before quoting.

What is the difference between target profit and target margin?

Target profit percentage is applied to adjusted cost. Target margin is the share of the final project price that remains as profit.

For planning and pricing reference only. Consider professional judgment and written contractual scoping before making a quote.
