Is this a substitute for accounting advice?

No. This is an estimate to help you price profitably — not financial or tax advice.

Should I use my minimum or standard price?

Never quote the minimum. Standard covers a healthy margin; premium prices your best slots and repeat clients.

What's a good target profit margin?

20–40% is common for service businesses. Below 15%, small overruns eat all profit.
