Commercial Contractor Example
A commercial electrical contractor wants to know if their pricing supports their overhead and profit targets.
Required revenue and pipeline to hit target profit:
Break-Even Revenue
$93,333
Revenue to Hit Target
$133,333
Won Jobs Needed
1.6
Quoted Pipeline Required
$606,061
To hit $12,000 profit at a 22% close rate, you need to quote ~$606K in pipeline—about 8 jobs per month.
Why This Matters
Break-even is invisible until it isn't.
Most contractors know revenue targets but not the math behind them. Break-even is the number you must hit before any profit appears—and close rate, margin, and overhead all compound.
Close rate amplifies everything. A 5% close rate drop can double your required pipeline. Small margin slips compound into large revenue requirements.
Quoteloc helps upstream—before pricing mistakes compound. Better quote control means fewer surprises downstream. Know your numbers. Then protect them.
BREAK-EVEN MATH VS QUOTE CONTROL
This calculator shows what you need. Quoteloc helps you get there.
Know your numbers. Then protect them. Quoteloc helps commercial contractors quote from the right basis, enforce margin floors, and stop silent giveback across every quote.
THE PROBLEM
