Mixed resin ounces times price per ounce, plus pigment, a share of the mold, labor, electricity, waste and packaging.
How this calculator works
How we calculate this
- Material = mixed oz × price per oz + pigment
- Mold each = mold cost / expected uses
- Total = material + mold each + labor + electricity + waste + packaging
- Price from margin after fees
Example
Example: an 8 oz coaster pour
$1.40/oz mixed, 8 oz, $0.60 pigment, $18 mold over 12 uses, 25 minutes at $20/hr, $0.12 power, 8% waste, $1.10 packaging, 55% margin, 6.5% fees.
- Material is $11.80 before the mold share.
- Mold adds $1.50.
- Labor is substantial on a single coaster.
How much should I charge?
Charge the recommended price, or batch pours to cut labor per piece if the design allows.
Pricing tips
- Use the volume calculator first if you do not know mixed ounces.
- Count demolding and sanding in labor.
Common mistakes
- Pricing from the bottle size instead of mixed ounces used.
- Assuming every pour is saleable.
