Which calculator answers which question
The hourly rate calculator answers “what does an hour of this person cost us, and what is the lowest rate that still leaves a margin?” The profit margin calculator answers “did this price, with these hours and costs, leave the margin we wanted?” The utilization calculator answers “how much of our paid time is billable, and what is the gap worth?” The business scan asks 21 questions across seven areas of the company and returns priorities for margin, cash, time and delivery.
How the numbers connect
The three calculators share one chain: utilization sets how many paid hours are billable, the loaded cost of an hour depends on it, and the margin on a project depends on that cost. Use the same hours in all three and the results agree. They take any currency.
