The pricing chain
One number should lead to the next.
Most pricing mistakes happen between calculators. TradeQuote Lab keeps the cost basis, labor capacity, overhead, and post-job review in one visible flow.
01Selling price
Translate
Markup ↔ margin
Stop treating a 40% markup like a 40% margin. See the dollar gap before it reaches the quote.
02Cost / billable hr
Burden
Labor rate
Turn wages, payroll burden, benefits, nonbillable time, and utilization into a true billable-hour cost.
03Target rate
Recover
Overhead
Convert the cost of keeping the doors open into a break-even and target service rate.
04Pretax price
Protect
Change orders
