# Rate parameters

This page collects the fields that make up a rate, as they appear in the panel when creating or editing one. To understand the pricing model, first see [Rates](/docs-en/go-to-market/concepts/rate-cards.md)

### Rate header

| Field          | Description                                                                                         |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Rate name      | The name by which you identify the rate in your list.                                               |
| Billing period | The time basis of the prices: **Hourly** or **Monthly**.                                            |
| Default rate   | Checkbox that marks this rate as the one applied by default when creating subscriptions and quotes. |

### Margins

Margins are configured in the section **Configure your margins**, at three coexisting levels:

| Level          | Where it's defined                                         | Scope                         |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| General margin | Field **General margin (%)** in the margins header         | The entire rate               |
| Service margin | Field **Service margin (%)** in the header of each service | All the lines of that service |
| Item margin    | Column **Margin (%)** of each line                         | A specific line               |

The most specific overrides the most general: the item margin takes precedence over the service margin, and that over the general margin.

### Columns for each service line

Within each service (Remote Desktop, Servers, etc.), the lines are shown with these columns:

| Column           | Description                                                                                                                       |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Description      | The item or resource being billed (for example, "Concurrent Application Users" or "Virtual Server \[1 Core - 1 GB RAM]").         |
| Billable minimum | The minimum amount billed for that line, in euros.                                                                                |
| Quantity         | The tier to which the price applies. In some items it is expressed in tiers (Up to 24, Up to 49, Up to 74, Up to 99, Up to 1000). |
| Cost             | The base cost of the line (your reference wholesale price).                                                                       |
| Margin           | The margin percentage you apply to that line.                                                                                     |
| PVP              | The resulting sale price, with the margin already applied.                                                                        |
|                  |                                                                                                                                   |

> #### 📘 Grouping by service and region
>
> The lines are grouped by service, and in **Servers** also by region (for example, Madrid), because the price depends on where the resource is deployed. 
>
> Each group shows in parentheses the number of items it contains.

### The rate in the list

In **My Rates**, each rate appears with its **Name**, if it is **Default** (Yes/No), the **Billing period** and the number of **Subscriptions** that use it. The recommended rate is marked with a label **Recommended**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.plenit.com/docs-en/go-to-market/details/rate-card-parameters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
