Cost fluctuation calculators
Our default pricing approach is fixed lump sum. However, for the reference of our suppliers that have a contract with cost fluctuation provisions, we update the cost fluctuation calculators on this page every quarter based on Statistics NZ's latest Labour Market Statistics and Business Price Indexes.
If you have any questions on the cost fluctuations calculators, contact us.
