Pricing Guides

Short, specific explanations that connect to the calculators. These are not general craft roundups.

• How to Price Handmade Products

  Build a selling price from real costs instead of copying a competitor or doubling the supply receipt.

• How to Calculate Craft Profit

  Profit is what remains after cost and fees, not the gap between supply cost and the listing price.

• Markup vs Profit Margin for Makers

  Markup is profit divided by cost. Margin is profit divided by selling price. Using one word for both will misprice your work.

• How Much Should I Charge for Handmade Products?

  Work forward from cost and a profit target instead of copying the cheapest listing in your category.

• How to Price Embroidery

  Stitch rate is only one line. Blanks, digitizing and minutes at the machine still have to be paid.

• How to Price DTF Shirts

  Transfer size drives consumables. The blank drives the rest. Quote both explicitly.

• How to Price 3D Prints

  Grams are only the start. Hours on the printer and minutes of finishing usually matter more.

• How to Price Candles

  Fragrance and jars often cost more than wax. Labor for pouring and finishing still belongs in the unit cost.

• How to Price Resin Crafts

  Mixed ounces, not bottle ounces, are what you use. Failed pours need a waste line.

• How to Calculate Overhead for a Craft Business

  Overhead is the cost of keeping the shop running. If it is not in the price, you pay it from profit.
