3D Printing Profit Calculator
Use this when you already have a listing price and need to know profit, margin and hourly pay after real print cost and fees — not when you still need a suggested price.

When to use this calculator
You provide a selling price along with production inputs. The calculator still builds cost, then shows profit, margin, markup and hourly pay at that price.
How this calculator works
How we calculate this
- Build total cost from filament, power, machine, labor, waste and packaging.
- Fees = price × platform fee %.
- Profit = price − fees − cost.
Example
Example: a $22 listing
Same 120 g print cost structure, but you already list at $22 with 6.5% fees.
- Compare $22 to the recommended price from the 3D printing cost calculator.
- If profit per hour is tiny, the listing is a hobby rate.
How much should I charge?
If this page shows a weak hourly return, raise the listing or stop offering that geometry at that price.
Pricing tips
- Use actual sold price, not MSRP you never get.
- Include discounts and promo codes as a lower price.
Common mistakes
- Entering only filament as cost while using a full retail price.
- Ignoring fees on “free shipping” listings.
FAQ
How do I know if a 3D print listing is profitable?
Subtract real production cost and fees from the price, then divide by hours. Dollars of profit can still be a bad wage.
