Cost plus pricing is the simplest and most defensible way to set a price: total every cost that goes into one unit, then add a markup to guarantee a profit. This calculator adds up your material cost, direct labor and allocated overhead per unit to find total unit cost, then applies your chosen markup percent to produce a selling price. It also reports the profit per unit and the resulting gross margin, so you can see whether that markup is actually enough after the margin math shrinks it. Makers, manufacturers, caterers and service providers use this method because it ties price directly to real costs and scales cleanly. Enter your cost components and markup, and adjust until the price and margin feel right. Every calculation runs locally in your browser, so your cost structure never leaves your device.
It sets a price by totaling all costs then adding a markup for profit. This tool sums material, labor and overhead before the markup.
It adds material, labor and overhead into a unit cost, applies your markup percent, and returns the price and profit per unit.
Include a share of indirect costs such as rent and utilities allocated to each unit, so the price covers true total cost.
