Build your cost-based bid

This recommendation uses your costs and target margin. It is not a market-validated bid and includes no competitor rates or win probabilities. All amounts are USD.

Overhead applies to labor + expenses. Contingency applies after overhead. Price = total cost ÷ (1 − margin). Avoid counting overhead already included in loaded hourly cost.
