# Questions and prices

> How each answer changes the price, and how the range is worked out.

Every estimator starts from a **base price** (often zero), and each answer can change it:

- **Add an amount**, like $80 to $195 to take the waste away.
- **A percentage**, like 30% more for a tall tree.
- **Per unit**, like $85 to $145 per metre of fence.
- **No change**, for answers that are just useful to know.

Prices are always a range, low to high, so the customer sees something like “$585 – $910”. Then:

- your **minimum charge** applies, so small jobs never show less than you’d go out for;
- prices are **rounded** to a step you choose, like $13;
- **tax** (VAT, GST or sales tax) is added if you charge it, shown either included or added on top, as you choose in your business details.
