What You Get in the Stem Calculator
The costs, pricing choices and saved result for one arrangement, kept in one place.
Two pricing methods
Use each item’s price-list markup or set separate Flowers and Sundries multipliers for the arrangement.
Tax shown separately
Switch VAT or tax on or off and see it added once after the pre-tax price.
Modes and labour
Quick and Detailed both support all three labour methods. Detailed adds wastage and nearest-price rounding.
Exact saved arrangements
Reload the recipe and retail price you saved, even after your price list changes.
Gross profit explained
See gross profit before overheads, so it is not confused with the money left after rent and other running costs.
Fixed customer prices
Use a till price for an item when that should take priority over its markup.
