How the calculation works

cost = warp + weft + hours × rate + extras; target price = cost ÷ (1 − margin)

This is arithmetic for a maker’s cost worksheet. It excludes sales tax, marketplace fees, business income taxes, and any costs you did not enter. It does not predict market demand or recommend what a buyer will pay.

Worked example

20 + 15 + (8 × 15) + 5 = 160 cost units. A 30% margin corresponds to 228.57 price units before excluded charges.
