The Handmade Product Pricing Calculator combines batch materials, labor time and rate, packaging, percentage overhead, sales fees, and a target profit margin to estimate unit cost, retail, wholesale, and break-even prices in your browser.
Calculate unit production costs, recommended retail prices, wholesale rates, and break-even thresholds for handmade crafts, crochet, candles, baking, woodworking, and jewelry.
Materials and active production time apply to the whole batch and are divided by its finished yield. Packaging is entered per unit. The overhead percentage is then applied to each unit's materials, labor, and packaging subtotal.
Retail divides the production cost by the share of the selling price left after sales fees and the target business margin. Wholesale starts with the chosen retail discount, but it is kept at or above break-even and a 30% production-cost floor when that floor does not exceed retail; it is never shown above retail.

At 30% profit margin and 6% payment fees, recommended retail price is $20.22 with a break-even price of $13.77.

Labor wage is the salary you pay yourself for the physical hours spent creating the product. Business profit is the extra margin belonging to the workshop to buy new equipment, cover slow seasons, and expand your craft business.
Studio overhead represents indirect costs that are difficult to assign to one piece, such as utilities, rent, and tool wear. This calculator applies the entered percentage to the unit subtotal of materials, labor, and packaging.
The calculator applies your chosen discount to retail, then protects the estimate with the higher of break-even or 130% of production cost, without letting wholesale exceed retail. If that result does not suit an order, review the discount and the costs instead of assuming volume alone makes it profitable.
