Product Pricing Calculator

Business pricing

Estimate total product cost (material, machine, power, labor, packaging, shipping, overhead, failure allowance), then set a selling price with markup on cost or target margin on price — INR.

cost → markup or margin → selling price · break-even = cost

How pricing works

Production base = material + machine + electricity + labor. Failure allowance is a % of that base. Total cost adds packaging, shipping, and overhead. Markup: price = cost × (1 + markup%). Margin: price = cost ÷ (1 − margin%). Machine hourly rate and printer depreciation are alternatives — pick one so you do not double-count machine cost. Grams are optional notes for your records; material ₹ drives the math. Amounts round to ₹0.01.

Example defaults are illustrative only — replace them with your spool, power, labor, and overhead numbers. This tool does not guarantee profit.

How to use it

Enter material cost (use the Filament Cost Calculator if needed) and optional grams for your notes.
Enter print time, then pick either an hourly machine rate or printer depreciation — not both.
Add electricity, labor, packaging, optional shipping, overhead, and a failure/waste % on the production base.
Choose markup or margin, review the breakdown and suggested selling price. Reset example restores sample values.

Formula

Production base = material + machine + electricity + labor. Failure = base × failure%. Total cost = base + failure + packaging + shipping + overhead. Markup: price = cost × (1 + markup%). Margin: price = cost ÷ (1 − margin%). Break-even price = total cost.

Example

Example defaults: ₹100.80 material, 4 h 30 m print, ₹25/h machine, 120 W at ₹8/kWh, 0.25 h labor at ₹200/h, ₹15 packaging, ₹20 overhead, 8% failure, 40% markup. Replace every number with your own — examples do not guarantee profit.

Assumptions and limitations

Currency is Indian Rupees (INR); amounts round to ₹0.01.
Machine hourly rate and depreciation are alternatives — using both would double-count machine cost.
Failure allowance applies to the production base (material + machine + electricity + labor), not packaging/shipping/overhead.
Filament grams are optional reference only; material ₹ drives the calculation.
This is a planning estimate, not tax, GST, or accounting advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between markup and margin?

Markup is profit ÷ cost. Margin is profit ÷ selling price. A 40% markup is not a 40% margin.

Should I use hourly rate or depreciation?

Pick one. Hourly rate is a simple shop rate; depreciation spreads printer cost over lifetime hours. Do not add both for the same job.

How do I get material cost?

Use the Filament Cost Calculator from spool price and grams, then paste that ₹ amount into Material cost here.
