8. Pricing Review Checklist

QuestionWhy It Matters
Are all direct materials and labor included?Missing direct costs can make a profitable-looking price unprofitable.
Are transaction fees, commissions, and freight included?Small percentage fees can materially reduce contribution margin.
Does the price contribute enough toward fixed costs?Gross profit must cover rent, salaries, software, insurance, and other overhead.
Is expected sales volume realistic?A good unit margin may still produce a loss if volume is too low.
What happens if costs rise?Testing cost increases shows whether the price has enough protection.
Can customers understand the value?Pricing should reflect both cost and the value delivered to the customer.
Are discounts reducing margin below the target?Discounts should be measured against contribution margin, not just revenue.
Is pricing reviewed regularly?Costs, labor, demand, and competition change over time.
