Pricing Guides

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

How to Price Handmade Products & Crafts to Sell
Build a profitable selling price from real costs instead of guessing, copying competitors, or simply doubling the supply receipt.
How to Calculate Craft Profit and Profit Margin
Profit is what remains after cost and fees, not the gap between supply cost and the listing price.
Markup vs Profit Margin for Makers & Crafters
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.

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

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

How to Calculate 3D Printing Cost Per Gram
Cost per gram is the foundation of 3D print quotes, but most makers forget electricity, machine wear and labor when dividing filament price by spool weight.
