Real Commercial Example
A commercial contractor quotes a mechanical room upgrade. Here's how the numbers break down:
What happens after a 5% client discount?
Discounted Price
$61,750
New Buffer
$2,375 (4.0%)
Status
At Risk
A small 5% discount ate 58% of your buffer. One more concession and you're below floor.
Why This Matters
Pricing mistakes happen early
Most margin erosion occurs before the quote is sent—not during negotiation. The wrong floor assumption compounds through every change order.
Markup ≠ Margin
Teams regularly confuse markup with margin. A 25% markup on $47,500 doesn't give you 25% margin on $59,375—it gives you 20% margin. That gap kills profitability.
Small discounts erode fast
A 5% discount can wipe out over half your buffer in one move. Protected floor pricing prevents silent margin loss across your team.
ONE QUOTE VS EVERY QUOTE
This calculator checks one pricing decision.
Quoteloc enforces protected floor logic across every quote your team sends—calculating automatically, warning on violations, and locking approved pricing so margin doesn't drift.
Stop catching margin errors after they're priced.
