Pricing calculator for handmade products
A general-purpose calculator for makers of any handmade product. Enter what a batch costs to make, choose where you sell, set the margin you want, and get a retail price that still leaves that margin after marketplace fees.

Costs makers often forget
- Materials used up across a whole batch, not just the visible ingredients
- Your own labour at an honest hourly rate
- Packaging: boxes, tissue, tape, thank-you cards
- Wastage from mistakes, offcuts and rejects
- Other business costs: software, insurance, listing fees
- Selling fees and payment processing on each sale
- Any wholesale discount you plan to offer shops
A simple worked example
A batch of 10 handmade items
If a batch costs about 80 in materials and takes 4 hours at 20 per hour, that is roughly 16 of production cost per item before packaging, wastage and selling fees. A 40% target margin then sets a retail price that covers all of that and leaves your margin after the marketplace takes its cut.
