FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for the questions that usually come up first.

What should count as other costs here?

Use any extra order-level or project-level costs that still need to be covered before the sale is truly profitable.

Is this the same as break-even?

No. Break-even covers costs only, while this page adds a minimum profit requirement on top of those costs.
