Pricing grounded in your own business

Open Studio → Pricing guidance to review an active service package against your delivery costs and your own proposal outcomes. The worksheet produces a planning target with an explanation and source links. Saving a review never changes a package, sends an offer, creates an invoice or charges a client.

Review the actual scope

Choose an active USD package from your private package library. Read its inclusions, exclusions and current price. Then choose comparable published proposals from up to 24 calendar months of your own workspace history. Review the included quantities and service descriptions; package names never cause an automatic match.

Accepted proposals use their retained accepted selection and immutable published version. Other proposals use the latest saved selection for the current published version, or its default selection. The calculation checks retained hashes and uses the same exact pricing engine as the proposal. A broken or incomplete source cannot become pricing evidence.

Prices are before sales tax and after the proposal’s discount. For example, a $4,000 service with a $200 discount and $380 sales tax contributes $3,800, not the $4,180 invoice total. An accepted proposal is not the same as collected revenue or a profitable job. Declines do not establish that price caused the outcome.

Enter costs you can explain

The starting amounts are examples for review. Enter total owner hours, owner pay per hour, direct booking costs, annual overhead, expected annual bookings, processing fees and an operating margin target. Describe the source of each estimate, such as time records, supplier quotes or your financial reports.

The cost target is:

(Owner labor + direct costs + overhead per booking + flat payment fees) ÷ (1 − target margin − percentage processing fees).

Amounts are calculated in integer cents. Labor and allocated overhead round upward by at most one cent, and the final target rounds upward to the next cent. For example, $2,000 owner labor, $600 direct costs, $500 allocated overhead and $0.60 in flat fees with a 20% margin and 2.9% processing estimate give a cost target of $4,021.54.

This is a delivery cost model, not bookkeeping or a tax calculation. Owner compensation is included as a cost before modeled operating profit. The assumptions must be plausible for your actual work. A target outside the supported 1-cent to $999,999.99 range is rejected rather than silently capped.

Understand the historical comparison

With fewer than five selected accepted proposals, the planning target is the higher of your current package price and your cost target. The worksheet displays descriptive medians but does not infer a selling-price pattern from a tiny accepted sample.

With at least five comparable accepted proposals, it uses the higher of their pre-tax median and your cost target. This is a discussion starting point, not an estimated optimal selling price. It can be below your current package price. Review changing scope, client fit, season and acquisition channel before choosing any future price.

The resolved-decision acceptance rate uses accepted and declined proposals only. Open proposals and records closed without a decision are listed separately. Your explicit source selection can introduce bias; the percentage is not your entire business conversion rate.

Save a review and revisit it

Calculate the current sources, read the explanation, and explicitly approve saving the worksheet. The service rechecks the package revision, selected proposals, outcomes, prices and assumptions before saving. A changed source requires a fresh calculation. Replaying an uncertain save recovers the original result instead of creating another review.

Each saved revision retains the worksheet, source snapshots, hashes, calculated result and approving account. Open an earlier revision to see the evidence as it was reviewed. It is clearly separate from current-source guidance. Editing an old revision and saving creates a new latest revision; it does not rewrite history.

Only authorized full business operators can use the private workspace. Reading through a scoped integration requires both finance:read and analytics:read; saving additionally requires a named operator and financial write authority. Shared wedding participation never exposes another business’s package prices or proposal outcomes.

The source picker is paginated, supports up to 100 selected proposals per worksheet and up to 500 active package choices. Saved worksheet navigation shows the 100 most recently updated worksheets and the last 30 revision links; a retained revision can also be requested by its exact number. USD is the supported calculation currency. No external pricing feed or AI provider needs activation for this deterministic guidance.
