Project Estimates
Studiometry 5 brings additional Project estimating and estimate to real comparison features. When creating a new Project, you can now check the "Calculate Estimate / Quote" box to enter a detailed estimate. Your Debt/Credit categories are used here for the individual parts of the estimate, split up between hourly and expense. For hourly debt/credit types, you can enter the estimated hours for each type and Studiometry will calculated the estimated amount based on your rate for that specific work type.

Any value that can be edited will have a darker background when you hover over the value with the mouse. If you have the Calculate Estimate / Quote box checked, you can edit the estimated hours for hourly debt/credit types, and the estimated amount for Expense debt/credit types. All other fields will be calculated automatically by Studiometry.

If you do not have the Calculate Estimate / Quote box checked, you can simply enter the estimated hours and estimated amount by clicking on the appropriate value.

Once the estimate is entered, it can later be edited by clicking on the Edit button in the estimate area of the Project Info Tab.

You can then check the Project's estimate amounts and hour for each type compared to the actual amounts in the Project Summary tab. The totals are colored by green (amount under estimate), red (amount over estimate) and blue (amount equals estimate).

If you are not calculating the Project's estimated hours and amount, then the Project summary will simply show a comparison of the totals.
