Handmade Pricing Calculator

Most makers price by gut feel, then wonder why they're busy and broke. In our sample data, a $28 mug that feels fine actually loses money once 35 minutes of work at $20/hour is counted.

Enter your supplies once, list what each product uses, and add your minutes of work. The calculator gives you the minimum price that covers everything and still leaves your target margin, plus wholesale and retail prices.

What's inside

  • Settings: Hourly wage, overhead, target margin, fees
  • Materials: Your supply library with unit costs
  • Recipes: Which supplies each product uses
  • Pricing: Full cost breakdown, suggested prices and a price health check
