Live engine
The pricing engine, with nothing in front of it.
This is the engine that answers the API, not a demonstration of one. The reference configuration — 96.00" × 120.00" motorised with a cassette — returns $642.10 CAD wholesale and $1,284.20 CAD retail, here and from POST /api/v1/quotes/calculate, every time.
Change a dimension and the cut list moves with it. Nothing is saved, nothing is sent, and no account is required.

Cut list
These are the sizes the shop cuts. They are derived from the finished width and drop — never re-entered.
Identical to what POST /api/v1/quotes/calculate returns for the same opening, to four decimal places. Dimensions are taken as measured and are not rounded to the nearest quarter inch.
| Component | Derivation | Cut size |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum tube | W − 1.25" | 94.75" |
| Extruded hembar | W − 1.00" | 95.00" |
| Fabric width | W − 1.50" | 94.50" |
| Fabric drop | D + 4.00" wrap | 124.00" |
| Fabric consumption | (fabric W × fabric D) ÷ 144 | 81.375 ft² |
Cost breakdown
Every line is rounded before it is summed, so what is printed reconciles to what is totalled.

The cut sizes above are exactly what the service returns. This price is not — it is costed on the published reference rate card so the arithmetic is checkable, whereas the service costs against your own SKU prices and labour tier and adds tax. Use the button below for the figure that goes on a document.
Where the deductions come from, what each rate covers, and why the margin floor is a floor rather than a target are all set out on the platform page.
