and the books.

The true cost
Time is the cost
nobody enters.
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
One screen. Every number
that decides your margin.
True unit cost
Materials, labour at a rate you set, packaging, and a share of your monthly overhead — divided across what you actually sell.
Fee-aware pricing
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.
Your real hourly rate
Enter what you charge today. It returns what that price pays you per hour.
Break-even
How many pieces a month clear your overhead. Everything past it is yours.
When one product isn't enough
The whole shop,
side by side.
The calculator is free and always will be — one product, one price, one answer. The Shop Pricing Sheet holds your whole catalogue instead: every product ranked by what it actually pays you per hour, with the ones losing money marked in red.

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.
Start here
Price one piece properly.
Then decide.
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.
