Industrial Enzymes & Bio-Ingredients calculator
Quote Margin Calculator
Use this calculator to check quote margin before sending a price for an enzyme or bio-ingredient product. It helps commercial, costing, and operations teams compare price, production cost, testing, packaging, and yield assumptions on a consistent basis.
What this calculator does
- Calculate quote margin for a finished enzyme or bio-ingredient using quoted price, fully loaded cost, and the price basis used for margin reporting.
- Use it when estimating customer quotes for liquid enzymes, dry enzyme powders, bio-ingredients, blends, carriers, or contract manufactured lots.
- The result shows the quote margin on the selected price and cost basis.
Formula used
- Quote margin amount = quoted selling price per kg - fully loaded cost per kg
- Quote margin = quote margin amount รท quoted price basis for margin

- Fully loaded cost per kg: Include fermentation, downstream, drying, blending, QA, packaging, freight allowance, and overfill if assigned to the quote.
- Quoted price basis for margin: Use the same selling price basis as the quote when calculating percentage margin.
How to use the result
