With profit · true margin
$0
Profit as a true share of the price. The accountant's version.
Floor: (monthly expenses × 12 + salary) ÷ weeks worked ÷ weekly hours. Markup adds the margin on top of the floor. True margin sets profit as a share of the final price, so the same percentage yields a higher rate. Pick the one that fits how you talk about pricing.
