Pricing Strategies
Develop effective pricing strategies for profitability
Drone Mapping Business Bookkeeping: Part 107 Costs, Equipment Depreciation, and Per-Acre Pricing That Holds Margin

Mobile Mechanic Bookkeeping: Van Build-Out vs. Lease, Parts Markup, and Pricing the Trip Charge

Self-Employment Tax Pricing: How to Build the 15.3% Into Your Rates
US self-employment tax is 15.3% on 92.35% of net profit — about 14.1% effective. Price it in with a five-step rate formula, not salary divided by 2,080.
CPR and First-Aid Training Business Bookkeeping: Equipment Costs, Card Fees, and Pricing That Holds Margin
AHA eCards run $11.50–$22.50 per student, so a $75 US first-aid seat nets under $49. Price CPR classes off the per-student stack and book cards as COGS.

Draft Line Cleaning as a Business: Per-Tap Pricing, the Two-Week Cycle, and the Logbook That Locks In Retainers
Bars must clean draught lines every 14 days — price the route per tap, log every visit, and track chemical cost per line.
Sober Bar and Zero-Proof Bottle Shop Bookkeeping: Pour-Cost Math Without Alcohol, Admission Models, and Dry-Month Seasonality

Pricing Wedding Calligraphy Without Losing Money: What to Charge Per Envelope, Per Hour, and Per Rush Job
Most wedding calligraphers charge $2.50–$6 per envelope, but the rate that pays is your own — hourly math, spoilage, rush tiers, and 15.3% self-employment tax.
What to Actually Charge for Custom Woodworking
Price custom woodwork from true costs — 15–25% material markup, overhead per billable hour, 10–20% profit — not a materials-times-three guess.
