We aren't really in a position for computerised pricing at the moment so im putting everything on a spreadsheet and printing it out. Do any of you guys have a magic formula for calculating full prices inc mount, glass back etc?

In my mind somewhere I know from my carpentry days there is a formula for calculating waste on a 45 deg mitre. Eg if you need a 12" piece of 1" moulding mitred there is an equation to work out what size piece you need to start with. I can't for the life of me remember it. Can anyone help p...
