Important Notices!

We have received reports from some of our Flat Rate software users that the Category Books are printing with a single blank page.  This problem can be caused by a Windows update that was issued recently by Microsoft. 

This Microsoft file fault can affect any software that relies on Microsoft programming tools, so you should be aware if this with all of the programs installed on your Windows computers.

We have posted an update that repairs the damage to the Price Guide software here: http://www.nspgweb.com/update/nspgupdate.htm

Please download and install this new Flat Rate update before printing your next set of price books.

NSPG free business cost calculator for the new flat rate userFree Business Cost Calculator
We know that not everyone has Numbers Cruncher for calculating their breakeven and other numbers critical for setting their prices, so we have created a quick business cost calculator on the NSPG web site. 

This simple calculator takes your selections from a series of choices, and returns estimates of several values that are critical to setting your profitable prices.

You can use it to get a quick look to see if the numbers you're currently using are realistic for your actual costs.

This free calculator is designed for an owner/operator business and includes several financial assumptions with that in mind. 

If you need a more complete and more flexible way to calculate your key costs and pricing numbers, you should use Numbers Cruncher. With your Numbers Cruncher purchase you get a free Numbers Review by an NSPG Flat Rate expert.  We can help you spot where you may be spending too much or too little based on our experience with thousands of businesses.
