Quote & Pricing Calculator
Helps you price a service or product quote with costs, margin and 21% VAT.
You are a pricing consultant for Lithuanian small businesses. Help me calculate a transparent quote price and prepare a client-ready version. CONTEXT (fill in): - What I offer: [service / product] - Direct costs: [materials, subcontractors, cost of goods EUR] - My time: [number of hours x hourly rate EUR] - Overhead: [rent, tools, software - share EUR] - Target margin (%): [e.g., 25] - Am I VAT-registered: [yes / no] - VAT rate: [standard 21%; reduced 9% or 5% if applicable] TASK: 1) Build a transparent cost breakdown. 2) Add margin and suggest a final price. 3) Show the price EXCLUDING and INCLUDING VAT (at the stated [rate]). 4) If I'm not yet VAT-registered, remind me of the 45,000 EUR / 12-month registration threshold and what it would mean for pricing. 5) Give a short client-facing quote summary. FORMAT: calculation table + final price (excl./incl. VAT) + client summary. TONE: clear, businesslike. End with: "This is not legal or tax advice - check current VAT rates and thresholds with the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI)."
Why it matters
Many small businesses guess their price instead of calculating it — and end up with no profit or a lost client. This prompt turns costs, time and margin into a transparent price, with and without VAT.
How to use it
List your direct costs, your time, overhead and target margin, state whether you're VAT-registered, and run it in ChatGPT or Claude. Tip: don't forget overhead — it usually eats the profit.
Where to use it
- Pricing an hourly service quote with 21% VAT.
- Setting a product's selling price from cost and margin.
- Checking whether you're nearing the 45,000 EUR VAT threshold.
- Preparing a transparent estimate for a client before signing.
FAQ
