Hourly Sell Rate
Calculated from your costs — not someone else’s averages.
Profit is not unpredictable — it is only invisible when it is blended into one line.
BreakEven PLUS™ exposes profit by source — labor, and pass-through components — before the bid is submitted, not after the job is closed.
- Profit is separated from indirects, not blended into cost
- Profit impact visible before submission — not discovered after award
- Defensible profit logic for executives, primes, and auditors
- Final Net Margin (after unallowables), when applicable
- Eliminates “one-line profit” so bids don’t hide loss or risk
- Your Pricing, and Your Profits

All-in-One — BreakEven+™ Estimation Stack with Built-In FALIB® Reporting
Most systems divide the work — one tool forecasts, another estimates, a spreadsheet holds pass-throughs, and profit becomes a guess at the end. BreakEven PLUS™ removes that fragmentation. The same forecast model used to build the rate is the one used to estimate, price, and defend it — no re-entry, no re-interpretation, no add-ons. One Application.
Purpose-Built
- Profit Modeling for Labor and Pass-Through Components
- Models the full economic scenario — not just direct cost
- Designed so the math can be re-run when conditions change, without buying another report
FALIB® Reporting
- Structured roll-up of cost to fully-burdened sell rate
- Handles direct & indirect labor (ops & non-ops) with pass-through logic
- Profit and totals aligned to how reviewers, primes, and agencies evaluate cost
Mulitple G&A Bases
- Single-Element (DL), TCI, and Value-Added Base from one entry
- Compare all three without re-building the model
- Reviewers see rate logic with three G&A Rates
Audit & Traceability
- UUID-locked outputs — defensible in review environments
- Traceable back to the final sell rate and ready for compliance and primes
- Makes the math provable and review-safe — not a black box
