Frequently Asked Questions
How is the estimate calculated?
The estimate factors in your labor costs (hours x rate x team size), applies a complexity multiplier, adds industry-standard overhead rates, includes a 10% contingency buffer, and adds a profit margin. This ensures you cover all costs and maintain profitability.
What overhead rate should I use?
We apply industry-standard overhead rates: 20-30% for most services. This covers tools, software, administrative costs, insurance, and other business expenses not directly tied to project labor.
Why include a contingency buffer?
The 10% contingency protects against scope creep, unexpected complications, and revision rounds. It is industry best practice and prevents projects from becoming unprofitable.
Should I quote the minimum or maximum of the range?
Start with the suggested price. Use the higher end for new clients or risky projects. The lower end works for repeat clients or when competing aggressively. Never go below the minimum if you want to remain profitable.
