Start Here FirstThe NNEP Pricing System — Foundation Document
Read this before you open any calculator. It explains the PRICE Framework, why the tool sequence matters, and what each tool is designed to do. It only takes about ten minutes. Reading this first makes everything else faster and easier for you. Start Here > Open Start Here Document → NNEP_Lane8_StartHere_PricingSystem_20260604_1500The PRICE Framework Tools
Four Calculators. One System.
Run these in order. Each one feeds the next. Use real numbers from your shop — not estimates.Step 2
Real Labor Calculator
Determines your actual effective labor rate. Run this first. The Quoting Calculator depends on this number. Most shops discover their real rate is different from what they assumed. Open Calculator →Step 3
Overhead Rate Calculator
Annual overhead divided by production hours equals your overhead rate per machine hour. Run it once. This number goes into every quote you build from here forward. Open Calculator →Step 4
PRICE Quoting Calculator
All five PRICE drivers in one place. Production Cost, Real Labor, Intended Profit, Capacity Pressure, End Customer Value. Calculates your PRICE Floor before you respond to a customer. Open Calculator →Step 5
PRICE Profit Assessment
Use this after the order ships. Quoted vs. actual vs. variance — three columns that show you exactly where your pricing landed. The variance column is where your pricing education lives. Open Calculator →Reference Resources
See It Applied. Then Use It.
A worked order example and a guide for the conversation that always comes after you price correctly.
