Set up pricing rules: fixed, per unit, tiers and surcharges

The pricing rule types

• Fixed amount: adds a set amount (e.g. 'Tree felling' = €250).
• Per unit: quantity × amount (e.g. €110 per tree).
• Tiered: a lower rate as quantities grow (volume discount).
• Multiplier: increases the total by a factor (e.g. 'hard to access' × 1.3).
• None: the answer doesn't affect the price.

The order of calculation

Quotira calculates in a fixed order so the result is always correct: first all fixed, per-unit and tiered amounts are summed, then multipliers are applied, then the minimum price, then VAT, and finally an optional margin for a price range.

VAT: inclusive or exclusive

On the Settings tab you choose whether the shown price includes or excludes VAT, and which rate applies. That way the estimate matches how you normally communicate your prices.

Showing prices including VAT? Then you also indicate whether the amounts you enter in the builder already include VAT (default: enter €100 and the customer sees €100) or exclude it, so VAT is added on top (€100 becomes €121 at 21%).

Minimum price and price display

Set a minimum price so small jobs never fall below your floor. For the price display you choose between an exact amount, a range (±%) or a 'from' price - handy when every job is a little different.

Tip: keep the price an estimate

The shown price is an estimate based on the answers; you make the final quote. A range or 'from' price gives you room and keeps the barrier low for the customer.
