Screen Assembly Cost at 110% screen assembly scope included: a worked example

This scenario runs the screen assembly cost calculation on the strong side: 110% screen assembly scope included, with every other input held at its documented default. quoting screens or comparing screen options by project

The inputs for this scenario

  • Screen assemblies in the order: 140 screens (unchanged)
  • Fully burdened cost per screen: 28 $ / screen (unchanged)
  • Screen assembly scope included: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Fixed screen setup and packaging adder: 350 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Variable screen assembly cost = screen assemblies in the order × fully burdened cost per screen × screen assembly scope included) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,662 $ for total screen assembly cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 33.3 $ / piece for cost per screen.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,312 $ for variable screen assembly cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 350 $ for fixed screen setup and packaging adder.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where screen assembly scope included sits at 100% and the headline result is 4,270 $, this scenario comes in 9.18% above the baseline at 4,662 $.
  • Use it when quoting or costing the screen portion of a window order, or when deciding a per-screen price that still recovers fixed setup. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • total screen assembly cost: 4,662 $ (headline result)
  • cost per screen: 33.3 $ / piece
  • variable screen assembly cost: 4,312 $
  • fixed screen setup and packaging adder: 350 $
