FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the recommended price include tax?
No. Add applicable taxes separately and seek professional guidance when appropriate.
Are profit markup and risk buffer the same?
No. The buffer covers expected uncertainty; profit markup supports business risk and service sustainability.
Does PDF Club save my numbers?
No. The calculation stays in the browser and the form sends only your email and topic interest.
