THE BUSINESS WORKBENCH
Good decisions start
with clear numbers.
Practical tools for your next business move. Calculate your costs, test an idea, and create a professional invoice — all in one place.
PRICE WITH PURPOSE
Find your selling price.
Set a target gross margin to see the price you need. Margin is profit divided by selling price; markup is profit divided by cost.
KNOW YOUR TARGET
When will you break even?
Estimate the units you need to sell to cover fixed and variable costs in the same period. Fixed costs are costs such as rent; variable costs change with each sale.
KEEP YOUR BUSINESS MOVING
See your cash position.
Plan one month at a time. Include actual cash expected in and out, rather than unpaid invoices. Profit and available cash are different.
TEST THE OPPORTUNITY
Measure your return.
Compare an investment with its total proceeds over your chosen period. Include the original investment in total proceeds if you expect to recover it. This simple ROI does not adjust for time or risk.
START WITH A PLAN
Build your launch budget.
Combine setup costs with a cash reserve for your first months. A contingency helps prepare for the unexpected. This estimate does not subtract future sales.
READY TO SEND
Your work. Professionally presented.
Create a simple invoice or quotation. Preview and print it, or save it as a PDF using your browser’s print dialog. Confirm local invoicing requirements with your accountant.
