Protecting contribution before accepting a price
This worksheet calculates the displayed relationship from the supplied quantities. Its label and period conventions determine how the amount should be interpreted. A quote can meet a revenue target and still leave too little to cover delivery. Separate the selling-price denominator from the cost denominator: margin and markup answer different questions. A discount changes contribution even when the supplier cost stays fixed.
Scope of this operation
The figure includes only the listed inputs. It does not add unlisted tax, overhead, provider charges or conversion losses. Negative results can represent a shortfall or the signed difference between options. The example output for scope creep tracker is shown below so the supplied source can be checked against the actual format. It is not evidence that the operation has run against your own file or account.
How it works
Unquoted incremental cost = [Unquoted hours] × [Cost per hour] + [Other unquoted cost]
Inputs
| Field | Example | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| Unquoted hours | 20 | Use the duration unit stated in unquoted hours. A time period is not interchangeable with a currency amount or a count of events. |
| Cost per hour | 50 | Use cost per hour on the currency and period basis shown by the formula. Keep gross amounts, net amounts and unit amounts distinct; the page does not fetch a price or exchange rate. |
| Other unquoted cost | 100 | Use other unquoted cost on the currency and period basis shown by the formula. Keep gross amounts, net amounts and unit amounts distinct; the page does not fetch a price or exchange rate. |
