The formula
Materials total = cost price × (1 + markup / 100)
Labour = hours × hourly rate
Excl. VAT = materials total + labour + travel and other
VAT = excl. VAT × 25%
Incl. VAT = excl. VAT + VAT
Each line is rounded to whole øre, and the total is the sum of the lines shown - so the figures always add up. Don't have your hourly rate? Find it with the hourly rate calculator.

Worked example
A job needs materials worth DKK 12,000 at cost price and 16 hours of work at DKK 550 an hour. The markup on materials is 25%, and there is DKK 450 in travel.
Materials: 12,000 + 25% = DKK 15,000.00
Labour: 16 × 550 = DKK 8,800.00
Travel: DKK 450.00
Excl. VAT: DKK 24,250.00
VAT 25%: DKK 6,062.50
Incl. VAT: DKK 30,312.50
