How to use these calculators

  1. Pick your category. Each calculator is built around how that product is actually made and costed.
  2. Enter by how you buy. A gallon of oil, a case of jars, a yard of fabric; the tool converts it to per-unit cost.
  3. Add what you forget. Packaging, labels, finishing labor. The hidden costs are where margin leaks.
  4. Read your numbers. True unit cost, suggested retail at your target margin, and wholesale price floor.
  5. Export a clean PDF. Hand it to a buyer, lender, or co-packer. Numbers that get taken seriously.
