Handmade Pricing Calculator

Most pricing advice stops at materials and multiplies by a comfortable number — leaving out your labor, your overhead, and the cut the marketplace takes. This free calculator counts all of it for one product: enter your materials, packaging, the time it takes and the wage you pay yourself, an overhead share, a retail multiplier, and a typical marketplace fee, and it returns your true cost, a suggested retail price, and the real profit and margin. Use it right here in your browser, or download the starter spreadsheet to keep.

This prices one product with a single typical marketplace fee. It doesn't do a product catalog, a wholesale price, or per-channel fee references (the full workbook does), and nothing is saved. Pre-filled with an example — replace it with your own. A pricing aid, not financial, accounting, or tax advice; confirm your channel's current fees.

What it does

  • Builds your true cost from four buckets — materials, packaging, your labor at a wage you set, and overhead — the labor line most pricing skips.
  • Turns that cost into a suggested retail price and shows the real profit and margin after a typical marketplace fee.
  • Pre-loaded with a worked example (a leather cardholder) so you can see the math before you enter your own.
  • Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere, and nothing is saved.

Own it, don't rent it

Want to price your whole shop, not just one product?

This free tool prices one product with a single marketplace fee. The full workbook prices every product, runs a markup-vs-margin Pricing Lab, a Marketplace Fees profile with a per-channel fee reference, a wholesale-and-retail builder, a Materials price book that divides bulk packs down, and a Product Catalog that shows which listings actually make money — a 7-tab workbook you keep (Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice) plus five guides.

A one-time purchase you keep and reuse for every product — the structured workbook between a blank spreadsheet and a rented monthly pricing app.

A pricing aid, not financial, accounting, or tax advice. Every figure is illustrative — material prices, wages, overhead, and marketplace fees vary by craft, region, supplier, and channel, so enter your own and confirm your channel's current fees. Free to use; please don't resell or redistribute.
