Bakery Pricing Calculator

What it does

• Materials: enter each ingredient and packaging item once with what you pay for a bag, pound or carton and how many grams, millilitres or pieces are in it. The cost per gram or piece calculates
• Recipes: one row per material in a product. Pick the product and the material from drop-downs, type how much one batch uses (for example 280 g of flour, 225 g of butter and 2 eggs), and the ingredient cost adds up by itself
• Products: labour minutes at your hourly rate, overhead per item, packaging, shipping you pay and other costs give the total cost of one item
• Price for your target margin: the price that covers every cost and the marketplace fees and still leaves the margin you set
• Wholesale price: total cost times your wholesale markup
• Profit check at your current price: fees, profit per sale and margin. Products below your target turn amber, products losing money turn red
• Settings: hourly rate, overhead, transaction and payment fee percentages, fixed fees per order, target margin and wholesale markup. Change one and every price updates
• Room for 200 materials, 200 products and 1,000 recipe lines. Works in grams, millilitres, ounces or pieces and any currency
