Free Margin Reality Lab
Enter the cost components you expect to incur. This is an illustrative calculator, not a bid generator, supplier price book or market-rate survey. Preset examples are fictional; replace them with your own numbers before making decisions.
Your transparent results
Same costs. Two different selling prices.
Modeled outcomes after only the costs you entered. Actual results may differ.
$90.00
This is a pricing difference, not confirmed recoverable revenue or additional profit.
Markup: $700 Γ 1.30 = $910. Margin price: $700 Γ· (1 β 0.30) = $1,000.
Loaded: fictional cleaning example.
02 / Choose your next result
Useful alone. More capable when needed.
You can use the free result without buying anything. For owners handling recurring estimates, quote follow-up, or a human-reviewed process assessment, these are separate TailorScan Forge offers.

What this calculator includes, and what it doesn’t.
Why the math changes
Markup percentage = (selling price β costs) Γ· costs. Modeled margin percentage = (selling price β costs) Γ· selling price. Required price at target margin = included costs Γ· (1 β target margin as a decimal).
The price gap grows as the target percentage increases. Revenue-based payment fees, discounts, taxes, scope changes, rework and actual productivity must be modeled separately if they are not already represented in your costs.
Questions owners should ask
Does 30% modeled margin mean 30% company profit?
No. It is the difference between a proposed price and the costs entered in this tool. Income tax, omitted overhead, selling fees, refunds and other business expenses can change the realized outcome.
Can this quote the technical work for me?
No. It has no supplier pricing database, wage schedule, site survey, equipment estimate or market-demand validation. It helps evaluate assumptions that you provide.
Is my data sent to TailorScan?
No data is submitted from this local-browser calculation. Sharing, copying or following outbound links is controlled by you. The website host may process ordinary visit information according to its privacy policy.
Is the $295 audit included in a download?
No. It is a separate, optional human-reviewed process assessment, offered only after a no-cost eligibility and scope check.
