Live planning instrument · inputs stay local

Know the minimum
before you name
the number.

Turn hours, overhead and project risk into a defensible quote, a deposit schedule and one uncomfortable truth: how much margin your first number leaves behind.

01 / QUOTE FLOOR

Price the work.
Then price the uncertainty.

Use the amount you were about to quote. MarginPilot will not flatter it.

02 / QUOTE AUDIT

A printable field check for the number behind the number.

Seven questions before
you lock the quote.

Use the free checklist to catch invisible hours, vague revisions and payment gaps before they become unpaid work.

  2. 02Revision boundary named
  3. 03Final payment trigger written

02 / FIELD METHOD

Three checks before
the proposal leaves.

A pricing ritual small enough to use on every serious project.

  1. 01

    Count the invisible hours

    Include discovery, coordination, admin and revision time — not just the visible deliverable.

  2. 02

    Make uncertainty cost something

    Overhead keeps the business running. A separate risk reserve absorbs ambiguity before it becomes unpaid work.

  3. 03

    Split commitment from completion

    Collect a deposit before work starts and make the remaining payment trigger explicit in the proposal.

03 / FIELD NOTES

Instinct is expensive
in predictable ways.

Three ordinary project patterns. The arithmetic is less dramatic than the consequences.

WEB / FIXED

The “small” website

Forty delivery hours become fifty-four after calls, content cleanup and two loose revision rounds.

+35% hidden load
BRAND / RUSH

The compressed brand sprint

The work fits. The schedule does not. A risk reserve prices the lost flexibility instead of donating it.

15–25% risk band
BUILD / MILESTONE

The long implementation

A meaningful deposit funds the first delivery block and makes cancellation less dangerous to cash flow.

40–50% upfront

01

Match the network

Select USDT and TRON (TRC20). Do not use Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Solana or another network.

02

Match the amount

Send exactly 59 USDT. Your wallet may charge its own network or withdrawal fee separately.

03

Send the transaction hash

Email the public transaction hash and delivery email. Never send a password, 2FA code or seed phrase. eduardo1089@gmail.com

Check before sending

Crypto transfers can be irreversible. A payment on the wrong network may be lost. A screenshot alone is not proof; the matching confirmed TRC20 transfer is verified publicly before delivery.

05 / LIMITS

Useful because it
knows what it is not.

Does MarginPilot choose my market price?

No. It calculates a business floor from your assumptions. Positioning, value and market demand can justify a higher quote.

Are my project details uploaded?

No. The free calculator runs in your browser. Shared links include numeric assumptions, currency and language only.

Is this tax or accounting advice?

No. Overhead and risk are planning inputs you control. Confirm local tax, legal, invoice and recordkeeping requirements with qualified professionals.
