Sources & review

No single official fee page is attached here. The model keeps these inputs editable so you can use the terms that apply to your situation.
This model uses editable planning assumptions. Confirm tax, payment, financing, or operating terms with the relevant provider, official authority, or adviser for your situation.
Defaults are editable estimates. Match them to your current account, provider statement, official authority, lender, or adviser before making a pricing or investment decision.
Calculator model reviewed: August 9, 2026. This date covers the page and calculator guidance, not a guarantee that every live platform rate or term was re-audited on that date.
Worked example
Cookies, 24/batch sold by dozen (12). Ingredients $8.50/batch → per dozen $4.25. Labor: 45min kitchen + 10min pack = 55min × $18/hr = $16.50 per batch? Per dozen $8.25. Ingredients+Labor $12.50. Overhead 15% $1.88 +$2.25 box = $16.63/dozen. Direct sale no fees. At 40% margin: $16.63/(1−0.4) = $27.72/dozen. Wholesale 25%: $22.17/dozen.
