Know your real break-even before you bid
BreakEven+™ is estimating and pricing software for contractors that calculates labor burden, overhead, and profit—so you can price work with confidence.
Stop relying on national averages. Price your work based on your real costs.
From Cost Truth to Confident Pricing
BreakEven+™ connects forecasting, estimating, and pricing into one continuous workflow—so every number is built from your actual cost structure.
Establish cost truth
Build fully burdened labor rates, overhead, and pass-through components using your real business conditions—not generalized averages.
Model profit before submission
Estimate work and price service items using the same model—so profit is visible, separated, and measurable before the bid is submitted.
Defend and validate the number
Produce pricing logic that is traceable, reviewable, and aligned with how executives, primes, and auditors evaluate cost and profit.
Profit isn’t unpredictable — it’s just hidden.
BreakEven+™ 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 is visible before submission
- Defensible pricing logic for executives, primes, and auditors
- Final net margin (after unallowables), when applicable
- Eliminates “one-line profit” that hides loss and risk
More than estimating — a complete cost and pricing platform
BreakEven+™ is built for contractors who need to establish cost truth first—then estimate, price, and stand behind the number.

All-in-One — BreakEven+™ Estimation Stack with Built-In FALIB® Reporting
Most systems divide the work—forecasting in one tool, estimating in another, and profit calculated at the end. BreakEven+™ removes that fragmentation. The same model used to build cost is used to estimate, price, and defend it—no re-entry, no re-interpretation, no add-ons. One system. One model. One answer.
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
Multiple Bases
- Single-Element (DL), TCI, and Value-Added Base from one entry
- Compare all three without re-building the model
- Get your General and Administrative Rate (G&A)
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
