Simplify calculations for target cost agreements, pain/gain share splits, and project outcomes with clear metrics and reports.
Free Sign UpTired of rebuilding the same pain/gain formula in a spreadsheet every valuation? Enter your figures once and let the calculator do the split.
Input the agreed target cost, the actual defined cost incurred, and your contract's pain/gain share percentages.
We apply your share ranges and percentages to calculate the pain or gain due, including any contractual pain/gain caps.
See the final fee adjustment and overall project outcome in a report you can walk a client or board through.
Built for target cost, pain/gain share mechanisms commonly used in UK construction contracts.
Handle sliding-scale pain/gain share percentages across multiple cost bands, not just a single flat split.
Apply the contractual caps on pain and gain, so the final number reflects what's actually payable.
Model different final-cost scenarios to see how the share outcome moves before the numbers are locked in.
A clear breakdown of target, actual, and share outcome, ready to support a final account or interim assessment.
The same calculation logic every time, so outcomes don't quietly drift between commercial managers or reporting periods.
A documented calculation trail that stands up if the outcome is challenged or reviewed.
