Understand the numbers
What each result means
A sustainable price should cover your work and costs while leaving room for uncertainty and profit.
Recommended quote
The minimum price plus risk allowance, adjusted so your target profit margin remains inside the final price.
Premium range
A higher positioning range for work with stronger business value, urgency, specialist skill, strategy, or broader usage rights.
Somez AI methodology
How the quote is calculated
A transparent planning model for testing a service price—not a promise of what a client will pay.
Cost base
Estimated work time, hourly labor value, included revisions, and direct project costs establish the minimum cost base.
Risk and margin
The risk allowance covers uncertainty. The target profit margin is calculated inside the final quote rather than added as a simple markup.
Positioning range
The premium range is a comparison scenario for stronger value, urgency, specialist responsibility, or usage rights—not an automatic recommendation.
Formula note: recommended quote = (cost base × (1 + risk allowance)) ÷ (1 − target profit margin).
Limits: the tool cannot measure client budget, local market demand, taxes, payment fees, scope ambiguity, legal obligations, or the evidence supporting a value-based premium. Confirm the real scope and local requirements before sending a quote.
First-party pricing research
Compare your quote with reproducible benchmark scenarios.
See how project hours, labor value, revision allowance, risk, and target margin change a quote under one published method.
New: the Somez AI Service Pricing Benchmarks publishes model-generated project scenarios with the assumptions and formula shown openly. These are planning benchmarks, not claimed market averages.
