- Pick your category. Each calculator is built around how that product is actually made and costed.
- Enter by how you buy. A gallon of oil, a case of jars, a yard of fabric, and the tool converts it to per-unit cost.
- Add what you forget. Packaging, labels, finishing labor. The hidden costs are where margin leaks.
- Read your numbers. True unit cost, suggested retail at your target margin, and wholesale price floor.
