Excel Cost Calculator

I’d like a streamlined Excel tool that lets me generate instant cost estimates for flyer jobs in my printing press. The sheet should prompt me for key variables—paper type, quantity, print quality, freight, profit margin, cutting, design, and actual press-run charges—then output a clear per-unit price and grand total that I can copy straight into a client quote. Here’s what I need the workbook to do: • Simple front-end form or clearly labeled input cells for each variable listed above • Behind-the-scenes formulas that add mark-ups, combine fixed and variable costs, and flag any negative margins • An easy-to-read summary section showing subtotal, tax (if I toggle it on), and final figure If you can add optional dropdowns for common paper stocks and a printable quotation sheet, that’s a plus. Please send a detailed project proposal explaining your layout concept, key formulas or VBA snippets you’d use, and an example of a similar cost calculator you’ve built. I’m ready to choose quickly once I see a plan that keeps data entry minimal and results fool-proof.
