Aussie Sole Trader Quote & Break-Even Pack
A downloadable spreadsheet for Australian one-person service businesses. Price a job from your costs and a target margin before you send the quote.
The idea in one minute
Start with the income you want to recover, add overheads, then divide by realistic billable hours. Cost each job using that recovery rate and actual direct costs. Apply your target margin once. This is planning, not a guarantee of work or income.
Inside the paid pack
A no-macro Excel workbook and a Quick Start guide, delivered only after payment once checkout is open. The paid files are not available as public downloads on this site.
No macros or external connections. Keep an untouched master. Only export the Client Quote sheet to a customer — never send the whole workbook. Recheck formulas and print layout in your own copy of Excel or Google Sheets. General planning only; not tax, legal, or financial advice.
A fictional sample quote
These figures are a worked example only. They are not a typical result or an income claim.
| 6 hours × A$77.50 cost rate | A$465.00 |
| Materials | A$240.00 |
| Other direct costs | A$60.00 |
| Job cost | A$765.00 |
| Subtotal at 25% true margin | A$1,020.00 |
| Planning surplus | A$255.00 |
| Equivalent markup | 33.33% |
| GST 10% (optional, shown on for this sample) | A$102.00 |
| Total | A$1,122.00 |
In the pack, GST starts off. Turning it on in the sample adds A$102, for a total of A$1,122. That switch does not decide whether you are registered for GST.
Free markup and margin calculator
Same fictional cost, two different questions. A 25% margin on A$765 is A$1,020. A 25% markup on A$765 is A$956.25, which is a 20% margin. GST stays out of this sample tool.

Checkout
Checkout is coming soon. Aussie Sole Trader is finishing payment setup, so this page does not take payment yet. The paid workbook and Quick Start guide are not stored here and are not delivered from this public site.
When checkout opens, the pack will be A$29 one-time, and the files will be sent only to people who have paid.
Terms
Aussie Sole Trader sells one digital product: the Aussie Sole Trader Quote & Break-Even Pack, priced at A$29 one-time when checkout is open. The pack is a no-macro Excel workbook and a Quick Start PDF for Australian sole traders and other one-person service businesses.
It is a general planning tool. It is not tax, legal, or financial advice, and it does not guarantee work, income, or a particular result. You should recheck formulas and print layout in your own spreadsheet app, keep an untouched master, and only send a client the Client Quote sheet — never the full workbook.
Until checkout is open, nothing on this page is an offer you can accept online. Australian Consumer Law rights are not excluded.
Refund policy
This is a digital product. If a file you purchase is faulty or not as described, you can ask for a refund. Once checkout is open, use the support details on your receipt to get in touch. This does not limit any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
Privacy
This is a static website. The free markup and margin calculator runs only in your browser and is not sent, saved, or emailed. Downloading the free preview PDF does not require you to leave a name or contact details. This page does not use advertising or analytics cookies.
When checkout opens, payments will be processed by Stripe, and any personal information collected to fulfil an order will be used only to take payment, deliver the files, and handle support or refunds. We do not sell personal information.
