These are estimates to guide pricing, not financial advice. Adjust for your market, your time, and how hands-on each client is.
The calculator marks up your costs to hit your target margin. The setup fee is your build cost divided by the margin factor, and the retainer marks up your monthly delivery cost the same way.
Agency margins come from charging monthly, not just for setup. Price the retainer to cover delivery and your target margin, then grow revenue by adding clients without adding operations.
A common model is a one-time setup fee plus a monthly retainer. Set each by marking up your costs to your target margin. Use the calculator to turn your real costs into suggested prices.
Qoren runs managed AI agents per client, so you can deliver and resell automation without hosting servers or maintaining workflows.
