Calculate Cost Per Unit as a Percentage (and/or) Adding Commissions on Products

How come we can't add "cost per unit" as a percentage of price, like we can for discounts? This seems like something that is pretty basic and we've been disappointed that this hasn't been added yet. For companies that sell based on a margin, like insurance agents, real estate agents, and investment managers, we can't automatically calculate the the cost per unit and margin.

Somewhat related, why can't we add in a commission which further reduces the profit margin? It seems this teamed with the cost per unit as a percentage would create a very robust system.

Same issue here. We need to show price as a percentage, not dollars.

I completely agree with this. We sell at a % not a £ so the products and quotes function is redundant for us.

Currently when creating a product, the price of this product or service can only be defined as an absolut EUR value (or other currencies). In our case we want to sell a service, which is priced with a % based of the final selling price of a property, e.g. 1,5% of the selling price for a property in Munich, which might be sold for 500.000 € or 520.000 €, etc. --> resulting in either 7.500 € or 7.800 € worth of our service.

Therefore I would like to reccomend, that when creating a product there should also be the possibility to define the price of this product / services as % and not only as an absolute € value.

Our company charges a % fee of the total Deal amount. However, Hubspot only allows adding line items based on a dollar amount.  I contacted the support team and they mention the system only allows to input percentages as discounts. We do not operate with fixed unit costs, each deal has a different amount but the fee is always the same. Does anybody know a solution for this?

Hi there, 

We currently invoice our clients by commission but in order to start using the quotes & products feature in Hubspot we need to be able to set up products using commission / percentage. 

It would be great if we could have this as a feature. 

Thanks

Exactly the same it makes no sense that this feature is not available. We price up on a percentage margin

Agreed all around. We need to evaluate our margin based on percentage, not dollars, and this lack of capability is holding us back from using the quote system.

This feature is much needed and would be incredibly helpful. We currently have to provide both a quote and a separate document with only percentage-based pricing, which looks unprofessional to not have everything in one place for the customer to sign.

Would be great to implement this! This would help us manage yearly price increase/upcounts

To set up products using commission/percent - this feature is very needed. Looking forward to receiving it soon!

Same here, this is a necessity for us to calculate a commission rate automatically.
Hope we'll have an update soon from hubspot!

Has there been any update on this feature? Our product is sold entirely percentage based, so we cannot utilize the quote function without it!

Really surprising Hubspot doesn't have implemented a Comissions Calculator in the Sales Hub
