How this project cost calculator works

It turns your estimated hours into a price and shows how much room you have before the project loses money.

  • Base cost = estimated hours × blended hourly rate.
  • Recommended price = base cost plus your scope buffer.
  • Hours per person/week = estimated hours ÷ team members ÷ weeks.
  • Max hours before loss = price ÷ blended rate.
