Why use CraftCost

This is only the direct cost — your business is much more

The calculator gives you material and labor costs, but the real cost of your product includes much more:

01

Fixed expenses

Rent, utilities, tool and equipment depreciation.

E.g.: if you pay $150/month in rent and make 50 products, each one carries $3 in fixed costs that this calculator doesn't include.

02

Material yield

How much do you waste? How much is lost during production?

E.g.: you bought 1kg of flour, but each cake uses 250g and you throw away 30g of scraps. That's a 12% loss not reflected in your price.

03

Stock & replenishment

Know when and how much to buy to avoid running out during production.

E.g.: you run out of filament on Friday, your supplier doesn't deliver until Monday. Three days without production just from not tracking stock.

04

Sales channels & fees

Every platform (Etsy, Amazon, Shopify) charges a commission that eats into your margin.

E.g.: you sell a box for $45 on Etsy. You pay a 15% fee = $6.75. Your profit drops from $29.50 to $22.75 without noticing.

That's why we built CraftCost — so you have all those numbers in one place, without spreadsheets, without hassle.
