When to use it
Count materials consumed by this bouquet, not the cash spent buying whole bunches. Usable leftovers remain inventory. Stem count is a nonnegative integer; other inputs and markup must be nonnegative. Example prices are hypothetical.
Inputs
USD
| Inputs | Default |
|---|---|
| Main-flower stems | 8 |
| Price per main-flower stem (USD) | 2 |
| Filler-flower cost (USD) | 8 |
| Foliage cost (USD) | 4 |
| Work time (min) | 30 |
| Hourly rate (USD/h) | 20 |
| Wrapping cost (USD) | 5 |
| Loss allowance (USD) | 3 |
| Markup on cost (%) | 50 |
| Budget (USD) | 65 |
Calculation method
Flowers = stems × price per stem + fillers + foliage. Labour = work duration × hourly rate; the minute-to-hour conversion is handled by the units. Add wrapping and explicit loss, then multiply cost by (1 + markup). A 50% cost markup is not a 50% sales margin.
Each input has its actual unit. Calvance converts compatible units during calculation; changing a label alone does not convert a value. Results use the displayed target units.
8 [Main-flower stems] × 2 [Price per main-flower stem USD] + 8 [Filler-flower cost USD] + 4 [Foliage cost USD] → Flowers USD
30 [Work time min] × 20 [Hourly rate USD/h] → Labour cost USD
Flowers USD + Labour cost USD + 5 [Wrapping cost USD] + 3 [Loss allowance USD] → Used cost USD
Used cost USD × (1 + 50 [Markup on cost]%) → Quote USD
65 [Budget USD] - Quote USD → Budget left USD
Change one input
Increase the main-flower price by 1 in the example currency per stem. Flower cost, total consumed cost, quote and budget balance update. Loss is a manual allowance and does not automatically rise with stem price.
| Result | Default | Changed |
|---|---|---|
| Flowers (USD) | 28 | 36 |
| Labour cost (USD) | 10 | 10 |
| Used cost (USD) | 46 | 54 |
| Quote (USD) | 69 | 81 |
| Budget left (USD) | -4 | -16 |
Results are displayed to at most two decimal places; later formulas use unrounded values.
Scope and limits
- Consumed materials, not full-bunch purchase spending.
- Markup is based on cost; it is not sales margin.
- Excludes rent, utilities, tax and delivery; this is an internal quote.
Need to buy whole bunches or packs for this order? Use Bouquet Purchases & Cash Balance to compare those payments with the quote. Consumed material cost and cash paid are different quantities.
