Description

Underpricing your crochet? The Crochet Pricing Calculator shows your true cost – yarn AND your time – and what to charge to actually pay yourself.

What’s inside your Crochet Pricing Calculator

What It Calculates

• Unit cost of every yarn and material (price divided by the quantity it comes in)
• Line and total cost for your project, from real quantities
• Labor cost from your hours and your hourly rate – the cost most makers forget
• Total cost, gross margin and profit
• Suggested price (materials x 2 + labor + overhead – the standard handmade formula)
• Your effective hourly rate – what you actually earn per hour at any price

What’s Inside

• Dashboard – total cost with your time, suggested price, real hourly rate and profit, at a glance
• Yarn & Materials – your supplies; enter price and quantity, unit cost calculates automatically
• Project – pick materials and quantities, add your hours and rate; costs calculate for you
• Pricing – margin, suggested price, and your effective hourly rate
• How it works – a quick guide

The Real Hourly Rate

Most makers undercharge because they forget their time. This calculator makes your effective hourly rate impossible to miss – so you can raise your price until you are paid fairly. Your margin is a cushion above the wage already built into your price; the hourly rate is the number to watch. ($15/hr is a floor – many makers charge $20-25/hr.)
