Industrial Fans, Blowers & Air Movement Equipment calculator

Quote Margin Calculator

Use this calculator to check quote margin for fan and blower projects. It helps sales, estimating, and operations compare available margin against the margin required to cover BOM cost, labor, paint, balance, test, freight, warranty, and project risk.

What this calculator does

  • Calculate quote margin gap by comparing available quoted margin with required margin and project revenue basis.
  • Use it when reviewing quotes for industrial fans, blowers, dust collection fans, custom housings, motors, drives, or test requirements.
  • The result shows whether the quote margin is above or below the required target.

Formula used

  • Quote margin gap = available quoted margin - required margin target
  • Quote margin gap percent = quote margin gap รท quote revenue basis

Inputs explained

  • Available quoted margin: Use selling price minus estimated cost, including fan BOM, motor, drive, housing, labor, paint, balance, test, and freight assumptions.
  • Required margin target: Use the margin dollars required by the pricing policy, project approval, risk reserve, or customer segment.
  • Quote revenue basis: Use selling price, project revenue, or the approved quote value used to report margin gap percent.

How to use the result

  • Use it to decide whether to adjust price, reduce cost, review risk, or revise scope before releasing a quote.
  • It depends on current BOM cost, labor estimates, warranty reserve, test scope, and commercial terms.
