3-Minute Price Estimation
Enter 5 fundamental figures to immediately reveal your break-even line and sustainable target price.
What You Can Do with Handmade Craft & Pricing Studio
Pricing handcrafted work is one of the hardest challenges for makers. Setting prices based only on raw materials frequently leads to working for mere pennies an hour after marketplace fees, packaging, and shipping are taken out.
Craft Pricing Studio solves this with an end-to-end pricing and production system. Derive sustainable retail prices from your desired hourly wage, simulate profit and real hourly rates across price tiers, pack pattern pieces onto fabric widths, recalculate knitting gauges, and export ready-to-print A4 price tags and care cards—100% locally in your browser.
Two-Tier Workflow: Beginner & Advanced Modes
In Beginner Mode, simply enter 5 primary numbers—materials, production time, desired hourly wage, shipping, and sales commission—to see a healthy, loss-free recommended price range in under 3 minutes.
In Advanced Mode, gain full control over multiple primary materials, packaging supplies (OPP bags, backing cards, mailers), multi-step labor processes (cutting, sewing, finishing, packaging), monthly studio overhead allocation, and bulk order discounts.
Reverse Pricing from Target Hourly Wage
Instead of guessing, let the calculator reverse-engineer your required retail price to achieve your target wage (e.g. $20/hr or ¥1,500/hr) after taking platform percentages and postage into account.
Inspect four clear price benchmarks: Break-Even (recovering pure cash outlay), Minimum Viable (covering baseline wage), Target (meeting your full hourly goal), and Premium Brand (healthy artisan margin).
Fabric Yardage & 2D Pattern Layout Packing
For sewing and textile crafters, specify standard bolt widths (90cm, 110cm, 140cm, 150cm) and pattern pieces with seam allowances and grain constraints (vertical, horizontal, rotatable, or with-nap).
A 2D shelf-packing visualizer displays exactly how pieces fit onto the cloth, calculates fabric efficiency percentage, and recommends purchase length with cutting loss buffers.
Knitting Swatch Gauge & Yarn Estimator
Easily convert pattern stitches and rows when your swatch gauge differs from the pattern designer's gauge, keeping your garment dimensions accurate.
Estimate total balls of yarn required from ball weight and yardage, rounding up to prevent running out of yarn mid-project.
Printable A4 Price Tags, Care Cards, and Cost Sheets
Generate printable A4 sheets containing 8 price tags (with punched-hole marks) or 4 product care cards complete with washing instructions, material disclosures, and cautions.
Download comprehensive PDF cost sheets or export your entire catalog to CSV for Excel and recordkeeping.
