I am working on a visual basic program for vinyl calc and mark up. It is going to be laid out just like signexpert's free calculators.. The problem I am running into is I do not know the calculations that they are using for the mathematics. If someone could provide me with industry markups or something like that then I can have us a program that will do invoicing, quotes along with pricing for each substrate material.
I've got something worked up like your thinking. ?!? Take a look at this, it's just a cheesy thing I made one night, but it works just like the Sign Cac website one. EXCEPT: the extra colors, I trying to get my math figured out...  |

You may want to go in and check your Banners calculator, it says banner size in inches, but a 120" (10 ft) x 48" (4 ft) banners costs $28,800.
I am thinking it wants feet. it comes out correct if you input the feet values.

Jeffrey06... nice little program you put together. Just curious, how did you come up with your vinyl/material prices?
For my area, the RTA prices were quite low.

For my area, the RTA prices were quite low.
I made my own excel spreadsheet to calculate the vinyl cost and tape cost. Then I based my pricing off the the sign calculator website. It's still needs alot of work. It's basically a program to give you a good idea of what it's costing you. sarconastic : Let me check that out.. |

Awesome tool, just input all my vinyl and did a trial run, works so well.
A little thing that may help, maybe add a box for a "hourly charge" that we charge for prep, cutting, weeding, and installing?

Bump. I'm working on a new program right now. Looks promising. I'll be releasing in the next few days. It's been working well for me atleast. |

http://www.xpressdecals.com/files/SignCalculator.exeTry it out, I'm going to be constantly changing and updating this. It's just simply Calculator that gives you a cost of your material including APP tape, and the RECOMMENDED sale price. I use this price as a base only.. The costs is based on a $25.00 per roll of vinyl.

Thank you so much for these calculators. Takes the guess work out of it. I do have one question on the last calculator. What is the final Total Ext?
Thanks again,
