Frequently asked questions
How is risk translated into cost?
Your selected risk level applies a contingency percentage on top of labor cost, reflecting the chance of scope surprises.
Should I show this exact price to the client?
Treat it as your floor, not your public quote. Round and present it in a way that fits your usual proposal format.
What if my actual margin target changes per project?
Re-run the calculation with the new target — margin is the one variable most founders adjust per client or project type.
