Quote Formula Explained
This calculator uses a standard job costing approach to calculate quotes. Here's how each component works.
Quote = (Material + Setup + Run + Secondary) × (1 + Markup%)
Per Part Price = Quote ÷ Quantity
Cost Components
Material Cost
Material per unit × Quantity
Setup Cost
(Setup time ÷ 60) × Shop rate × Operations
Run Cost
(Cycle time × Quantity ÷ 60) × Shop rate × Operations
Secondary Costs
Secondary cost per unit × Quantity
Markup vs Margin
Markup is applied to your total cost to determine the selling price. Margin is the percentage of the selling price that is profit.
Example: $1,000 cost with 25% markup
Quote: $1,000 × 1.25 = $1,250
Margin: $250 ÷ $1,250 = 20%

- •Programming time for new parts
- •Inspection and quality control time
- •Shipping and packaging costs
Shop Rate Considerations
- •Include overhead (rent, utilities, insurance)
- •Account for machine depreciation
- •Different machines may have different rates
- •Factor in realistic utilization (not 100%)
- •Review rates annually as costs change
