True cost calculator
Combine batch materials, expected waste, packaging, other item costs, active labor, and overhead. The result shows a cost per sellable item.
Features
A clearer way to make pricing decisions.
Worth The Make separates the cost of doing the work from the profit your business needs. Start with the free calculator, then save the work you want to revisit.
Fee-aware suggested price
Enter a percentage fee and fixed transaction charge. The formula works backward so your target margin remains after those fees.
Live price breakdown
See how materials, labor, overhead, fees, and profit share the suggested selling price. Change a number and watch the full picture update.
Discount and wholesale checks
Add room for a regular promotion and test a wholesale discount before you promise a price that cannot support the work.
Saved products and variations
A free account keeps up to three product calculations in one dashboard. Duplicate a saved product, rename it, and adjust the size, material, or sales channel without starting over. Pro removes the product limit.
Reusable materials and cost history
Store a package cost and usable quantity, then select that material inside any calculation. Each cost update is dated and linked products are checked against the new unit cost.
Channel fee comparison
Save the fees for your own website, local checkout, craft fair, or marketplace. Apply one profile in a click and compare required price, profit, and margin across every saved channel.
Margin watch and profitability
The dashboard recalculates saved products with current linked material costs, flags prices below their target, and shows current profit and margin for every item.
Product price history
When you save a changed retail price, wholesale price, or true cost, Worth The Make adds a dated history entry so you can see how the product moved over time.
Analysis and price-sheet downloads
Download a full profitability CSV, a customer-facing retail price sheet, or a wholesale price sheet with estimated profit. You can also print the current calculator result.
Private by default
The free calculator works in your browser.
We do not need a product photo, customer list, shop login, or marketplace connection. Unsaved calculator values remain on your device. When a signed-in member saves a product, we store only the information they chose to enter.
