The Pricing & Margin Calculator
Cost plus markup is why your margin keeps vanishing — the fees take their cut after you priced. This works backwards: decide the margin you want to keep, and the price falls out of it.

What’s inside
- One workbook, six tabs: Start Here, Price One Item, Price Builder, Materials, Labour & Overhead, and Fee Profiles.
- Price one item: type the cost, pick the platform, choose the margin, and the charge-this number appears with break-even and a where-the-money-goes breakdown.
- A builder that prices up to two hundred products at once, each against its own target, verdicts included: losing money, under target, at or above.
- Materials recipes — list what you buy once, and the materials cost per item works itself out.
- An hourly rate for your own time, applied to the minutes each product takes — because free labour is the most common pricing mistake there is.
Who this is for
Pick a platform that is not on your fee profiles tab, or a product with no materials recipe, and the price cell says so plainly instead of quietly pricing as though fees were zero.
