Quotes and the calculator
Templates, choices for the customer, your profit and GST. Everything about building a quote.
- The Full calculator (decking, concreting, fencing)For decking, concreting and fencing, the Full calculator prices a job from your measurements. When to use it and where its rates come from.
- Good, better, best optionsSend one quote with two or three priced options so the customer chooses which one, not whether to go ahead.
- Markup on materialsWhat your markup on materials has to cover, and how to set it on your quotes so you're not working for your suppliers.
- GST on your quotesOne question decides it: are you registered for GST? How Karven adds GST, where to change your answer, and what a tax invoice needs.
- Templates and My itemsSave a whole quote as a template and start the next one from it. My items brings back the lines you use, with your price, after one letter.
- Optional extras, quantities and Pick oneLet the customer tick extras on or off, set their own quantity, or choose between options, with one live total that updates as they go.
- Saved wording: warranty, terms and about usAdd your warranty, payment terms, what happens next and about us to a quote, and save your own wording to reuse.
- Your cost, your profit and what the customer paysType what each line costs you. Your profit % goes on top for the customer, and your cost and profit stay on your copy only.
- Work out what your hour is really worthYour wage isn't your hourly rate. Add super, the ute, insurance and the hours nobody pays for, and see what you need to charge an hour.
