When you know your business inside out, it's easy to give a "finger in the air" estimate for the most common projects. Since there is money in the bank at the end of the month, we assume all products are equally profitable, but the reality is just 20% of the work brings in 80% of the profits.
By calculating the exact profitability of your most common projects, you can do more of what brings you profit and less of what doesn't, scaling your business as a result. Use our handy price builder to work out what you should be charging for your most popular products.
