Hospital Equipment & Clinical Furniture worked example

Project Margin with total project revenue or contract value of 92,500 $: a worked example in hospital equipment & clinical furniture

This worked example runs the project margin numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: total project revenue or contract value of 92,500 $ instead of the typical 185,000 $. Calculate the gross margin percentage on a hospital equipment project or multi-unit contract by comparing total project revenue to total estimated project cost.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Total project revenue or contract value: 92,500 $ (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 185,000)
  • Total estimated project cost: 148,000 $ (held at the documented default)
  • Reference amount for project margin calculation: 185,000 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Project dollar margin = total project revenue - total estimated project cost.
  • Project gross margin works out to -30 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Project dollar margin works out to -55,500 value at these inputs.
  • Total project revenue works out to 92,500 value at these inputs.
  • Total estimated project cost works out to 148,000 value at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where total project revenue or contract value sits at 185,000 $ and the headline result is 20 %, this scenario comes in 250% below the baseline at -30 %.
  • Use it when quoting, reviewing, or closing out a fixed-scope hospital equipment or clinical furniture project. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.
