Build a day rate that works for the whole business.
A dependable day rate should carry its share of the business’s monthly and annual running costs—not rely on a guessed margin to cover whatever was missed. QuercusQuote brings those costs into the day-rate check before the quote goes out.

Margin should not be left to mop up the bills.
A day can look profitable when the crew and equipment are covered, yet still leave the business short when the monthly direct debits and annual bills arrive. Those commitments are costs of doing the work, not an afterthought.
QuercusQuote lets the operator bring them into the internal day-rate calculation deliberately. Intended profit can then be set clearly instead of loosely hiding insurance, servicing, training, software, accountancy and the rest.
MonthlyKeep regular overheads visible.
AnnualSpread larger commitments across earning days.
Learn from the work
Let completed days sharpen the next one.
QuercusQuote keeps day-rate planning connected to the jobs that use it. Once work is reviewed, smart features can help surface recurring patterns around days that perform well and situations where the allowance was regularly too optimistic.
It supports the operator’s judgement with evidence from their own business—not a generic rate copied from somebody else.
