No login required. Your business profile, quotation history, saved customers, saved products/services and daily-profit history stay on your own device.
One toolkit, many daily decisions
Choose your business type and start with cost lines that make sense for your industry. Add, rename or remove anything.
Add purchase cost, transport, overhead and your target profit to see a suggested selling price.
Combine materials, labour, transport, subcontractors, overhead and commission before you quote.
See both numbers together so you do not confuse markup with actual margin.
See how many units you need to sell before fixed costs are fully covered.
Know what a requested discount does to price, profit and margin before agreeing.
Create, save, reopen, duplicate and track customer quotations. Add your logo, a clear quotation subject, customer details, reusable products/services and professional terms.
Save today's simple sales, costs and estimated profit on your device.
Estimate how long a business purchase may take to recover its cost.
Estimate monthly repayments, total repayments and interest on a standard loan.
Check short-term liquidity using current assets, liabilities and quick ratio.
Built for different business models
A restaurant should not price like a consultant, and a contractor should not price like an importer. The toolkit changes the suggested cost build-up based on the business type you choose.
From calculation to customer quotation
Astute Business Money Toolkit

Your business type
We will use this to suggest the most relevant cost items. You can change it any time.
Industry-aware pricing
We suggest common cost lines for your industry. Add, rename or remove lines so the calculation matches the real job, product or service.
Enter only the costs that apply. Leave the rest blank.
Product pricing
Add what one unit really costs you. Then choose the profit target you want.
Job / service pricing
Add the costs you expect to incur. The tool will show your break-even price and a suggested selling price.
Profit margin
Enter what you charge and what it costs you to provide the product or service.
Markup
Markup and margin are not the same. This tool shows both so you can compare them.
Break-even
Use monthly figures if you want a monthly break-even point.
Discount check
This is useful before you agree to a customer's discount request.
Quotation workspace
Save your business identity, customers, products/services and past quotations on this device. The PDF uses a premium corporate layout and supports multi-page quotations.
Use a clear description the customer will understand.
Daily profit checker
Save today's figures on this device and compare recent days.
Investment payback
Use the extra cash the investment is expected to generate each month.
Loan repayment
This assumes a standard reducing-balance loan with equal monthly payments. Actual lender fees may differ.
Working capital
Use your current assets and current liabilities from the latest available figures.
A simple example
If a product costs you GHS 800 and you sell it for GHS 1,000, your profit is GHS 200. That is a 20% margin on the selling price, even though the markup on cost is 25%.
If a customer then asks for a 10% discount, the selling price becomes GHS 900 and the profit falls to GHS 100. The discount was only 10%, but your profit was cut in half.
The toolkit lets you test this before you commit to the customer.
Use it as a management aid
The toolkit uses the numbers you enter. It cannot know whether a cost has been omitted, whether a tax applies, whether a customer will pay on time or whether a loan has hidden charges.
Use it to make everyday calculations faster, then apply the judgement and records appropriate to your business.
