Example price breakdown: a soy candle that costs $15.50 to make, with a minimum price of $28.18 to earn a 45% profit of $12.68.

Your first price in three steps

No spreadsheets, no formulas to memorize. If you can fill in a form, you can price your work.

Everything you need to price like a pro

True cost, down to the cent

Itemize every material by pack price and quantity used, then layer in labor and overhead so nothing eats your profit unnoticed.

Profit margins that stick

Set a minimum margin once and every price is built to hit it — with sales tax handled automatically.

Etsy & Shopify aware

Listing and transaction fees are grossed back into your price so your take-home margin survives.

Materials inventory Premium

Track stock, supplier info and price history, and get low-stock alerts before a run sells out.

Plan your pop-up shops Premium

Forecast how much to make for a craft fair or market and see the projected profit before you pack the car.

Projections & break-even Premium

Model revenue, plan your profit and find the break-even point so you know exactly where you stand.

Makers are finally getting paid what they're worth

“I'd been underpricing my candles for two years. Within a week I raised my prices and finally stopped losing money on every custom order.”
— Sarah G., Soy Candle Maker
“I used to dread pricing. Now I add my materials, hit my margin, and I'm done. It paid for itself the first month.”
— Meghan F., Jewelry Designer
“The Etsy fee handling alone was worth it. My take-home is exactly what the calculator said it would be.”
— Tyra W., Ceramics & Pottery

FAQs

Is it really free?
Yes — the Free plan lets you price and save up to 5 products, with no time limit and no card required. Paid plans (Creator, Premium and Business) add unlimited products and extra tools; compare them any time under User Profile → Plans.
What goes into a price?
Everything it costs you to make the product — materials, labor (your minutes × your hourly wage), overhead and a share of your recurring business fees — plus your profit margin, with sales tax added on top. If you sell on Etsy or Shopify, the price is grossed up so marketplace fees don’t eat your margin.
What do the paid plans add?
Creator: unlimited products, product types, shipping profiles, a per-unit cost breakdown, a profit goal planner, CSV export and estimated listing fees. Premium: everything in Creator, plus materials inventory, product templates, stores, pop-up shop planning, revenue projections and a break-even calculator. Business: everything in Premium, plus analytics and reports across your whole product range.
