1. What are you making?

Example recipe

Example: 12 cookies, or 16 servings in a cake.

Making more than one order at once?

Enter the supplies, time and pieces for the whole batch. We divide the costs between equal orders.

2. Add ingredients & packaging

We count only the amount you use

Package price → package amount → amount you use.

How to enter an ingredient

A $10 bag containing 5 lb costs $2 when you use 1 lb. Match weight with weight, volume with volume, or pieces with pieces. Cups cannot be converted to pounds without a tested ingredient-specific equivalent.

3. Include your time

Pay yourself for every hour

1.5 = 1 hour 30 minutes. Include prep and cleanup.

Add other costs or allow for leftovers

Include utilities, equipment wear, delivery and fees. Ingredient allowance starts at 5%; packaging is excluded.

4. Choose your profit

40%

What does margin mean?

At 40%, $4 of every $10 in sales remains after the costs entered here, including your time. This is margin, not markup. The starting setting is not a recommendation.
