Questions about profitability
How does Nexap compute my margin?
Net quote revenue, minus what you PAY: materials, rental, subcontracting, your hours times your rate, and your travel per km. What's left is your margin. VAT never enters this calculation.
What hourly rate should I set?
An amount that covers your wage, contributions, vehicle, insurance, tools and non-billable hours — quoting, travel, admin. It isn't your hourly wage: someone charging €45/h doesn't earn €45/h.
Can a purchase be counted twice?
No, and it's the point we watched most closely. If you note a material on a job and then link the supplier invoice, the line hides behind the invoice — the invoice is authoritative. A purchase order never enters your outgoings: it's a commitment, not an expense.
