Procurement Fees Calculator

A calculator that helps you work out exactly what to charge (and what you'll actually earn) across the three main procurement fee models: mark-up, flat fee, and the hybrid markup + management fee. Enter your project's FF&E budget and it shows you your margin, your client charge, and the difference each model makes on the same project, side by side. Pricing procurement is where most designers leave money on the table; this tool makes the numbers visible so you can quote with confidence and choose the model that protects your time and profit. Built around the realities of UK trade discounts, VAT, and how clients expect to see costs presented.

What's Included:

• An Excel calculator with three working pricing models (mark-up %, flat fee, hybrid)

• Side-by-side comparison of margin and client charge on the same project

Who's it for?

Interior designers and procurement agents — particularly those moving from charging hourly or per-project to building a proper FF&E pricing model, or anyone reviewing their fee structure to make sure they're charging what the work is worth.
