The true cost
Ask a seller what a piece costs to make and you'll get the price of the clay, the yarn, the blanks. Ask how long it took and the answer comes slower — because that number was never meant to be part of the price.
It is the largest one. Forty-five minutes of skilled work is not a rounding error, and a shop that leaves it out isn't running thin margins. It's running none.
The instrument
Materials, labour at a rate you set, packaging, and a share of your monthly overhead — divided across what you actually sell.
Platform fees come out of the price and the shipping. The calculator solves for the price that survives them, not the one that looks right.
Enter what you charge today. It returns what that price pays you per hour.
How many pieces a month clear your overhead. Everything past it is yours.
The offer
The calculator stays free and always will — one product, one price, one answer. When you're ready to run the whole shop that way, the Shop Profit Kit tracks cost and margin across every product you sell, imports your order history, and shows you which best-seller is quietly losing money. $39, once.
A handmade business is still a business.
It has fixed costs, a wage, and a margin, and it fails the same way any other one fails — quietly, over a year of prices that were never quite right. The work deserves better arithmetic than doubling the receipt. We build the instruments that give it that.

It takes about a minute and you'll have your real hourly rate at the end of it. Close the tab afterwards if you like — the number is yours either way.
