How this calculator works

How we calculate this

  1. Total cost matches the Laser Engraving Cost Calculator.
  2. Price = cost / (1 − margin − fee %) when valid.

Example

Example: selling the 6×8 in piece

Same $24 sheet prorate and 18-minute runtime, 50% margin, 6.5% fees.

  • Fees apply to the selling price, so the quote is higher than cost / (1 − margin) alone if you forget fees.

How much should I charge?

Charge the recommended price. For custom one-offs, set jobs from design to 1.

Pricing tips

  • Rush jobs: increase machine hourly or labor.
  • Repeat orders should drop setup each — change the jobs field.

Common mistakes

  • Using hobby-machine time as $0 because the laser “already exists.”
