How we price this in Colombia
Colombia national base ranges come from named Colombian sources (cost guides and repair-service pages), in Colombian pesos and never converted from another currency. We localize them with DANE's income relatives between departments (Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares — GEIH, Departmental Monetary Poverty 2024). Colombia has no occupation-specific wage table (appliance technician) broken out by department, so we use departmental per-capita income as the best available official proxy for regional labour-cost differences; the minimum wage is national and does not vary by region. There is also no Colombian equivalent of the U.S. Regional Price Parities, so the price and overhead terms stay at the national baseline. The general VAT is 19% nationwide, though small "no responsables del IVA" providers charge none — treat 19% as a ceiling. Prices are in Colombian pesos and never converted from another currency. The full formula, weights, clamp, and source vintages are on the methodology page.
