How the margin scenarios are calculated

The simulator turns the entered cost stack and target margin into an editable quote scenario, then compares optional volume and competitor inputs.

Suggested price = base cost / (1 - target margin). Profit = selected price - base cost; margin = profit / selected price.

A modeled price is not a recommended market price. Confirm customer terms, scope risk, taxes, freight, and approved pricing policy before issuing a quote.
