Inflation impact on business costs

Recovery, not guesswork
Adds the exact cost delta to your current price so you know the minimum move.
Selective pass-through
Run it on high-impact lines first instead of raising everything.
Bridges cost to customer price
Connects supplier invoices to the margin tools in the next stage.

Should I pass through every increase?

Often you pass through high-impact lines first. Selective increases reduce customer shock.

Is this the same as target margin?

No — this covers the cost bump only. Use break-even and thin-margin tools to protect margin percent.

What if I absorb some of the increase?

Split the difference: raise price partway between current and suggested.
