Margin and markup calculator
Compare margin, markup, profit and the price needed for a target margin.
Pricing translation work
Translation may be priced per word, page or hour, but each method must fund source review, terminology, proofreading and communication.
Recommended approach
Convert average output into an effective hourly rate and add a premium for urgent or specialist work.
Starting preset
Typical preset: units × unit price, plus a minimum order and proofreading cost.
The values show a pricing structure, not an average market rate.
Checklist before quoting
- Scope and outcome are defined clearly.
- Preparation, communication and handover are included.
- Revision rounds or work allowance are documented.
- External costs have an identified payer.
- Scope changes have a separate pricing rule.
