Creating a Custom Calculation for Items in an Estimate
This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to create a custom calculation for items in an estimate using Bolster. This feature is useful when traditional dimensions or measurements do not meet your specific needs.
Log in to your Bolster account and open the estimate you’re working on.

There are two ways to enter pricing for your items:
1) On the estimate directly:
add labour cost per unit, material cost per unit, subcontractor cost, or a combined unit cost (premarket price). The system will then show the client the post-markup price.

You can also accomplish this:
2) Through the unit pricing window: click the square on the item to open unit pricing. This contains the same fields as the estimate view, just in a different format.

Totally up to your preference how you would like to input these costs. Both options allow you to input the same details. The unit pricing view is simply an alternative way to enter the information.

Don't forget to save estimate and changes once you've completed inputting your information. Using these tools helps refine and zone in on accurate pricing for your estimates.

By following these steps you can create a custom calculation for any item in your estimate and get more accurate and custom estimates.
