How to Use the Pricing & Margin Calculator
Model break-even, target-margin, and target-markup pricing to protect profitability as costs change.
Before You Start
- Use current direct cost and realistic monthly overhead values.
- Choose one target margin goal before running scenarios.
Step-by-Step
- Enter current unit economics: Input direct cost, overhead, units sold, and current selling price.
- Set margin and markup targets: Define both targets to compare pricing outcomes.
- Review break-even and target prices: Check whether current pricing is below break-even or below margin goals.
- Use monthly profit snapshot: Evaluate profit lift before applying repricing live.
How to Read the Output
- Target-margin price is usually the stronger strategic anchor than markup alone.
- If current price is below break-even, repricing is an urgent decision, not optional.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using outdated overhead assumptions.
- Raising prices without testing close-rate impact by segment.
