How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
- 1Sum yarn and notion costs including amortized pattern cost for true materials.
- 2Multiply hours by hourly rate for labor — crochet labor dominates cost.
- 3Add packaging and shipping for landed cost.
- 4Solve retail price algebraically to achieve target margin after percent and fixed platform fees.
- 5Show wholesale at 25% margin for boutique accounts.
- 6Compare landed to market ($35-65 amigurumi) to highlight underpricing risk.
Formulas
- materialsTotal = yarn + stuffing + eyes + notions + pattern
- laborTotal = hours × rate
- packShip = pack + ship
- landed = materials + labor + packShip
- retail = landed / (1 - margin - fee%) + feeFixed
- wholesale = landed / (1 - 0.25 - fee%) + feeFixed
- profit = retail - landed - fees
Important assumptions
- materialsTotal = yarnCost + stuffingCost + safetyEyesCost + notionCost + patternCostPerItem.
- laborTotal = hoursToMake × hourlyLaborRate.
- packagingAndShipping = packagingCost + shippingCost.
- totalLanded = materialsTotal + laborTotal + packagingAndShipping.
- Retail = landed / (1 - margin - fee%) + feeFixed.
- Wholesale uses 25% margin with same fee formula.
Worked example
Amigurumi bunny – the labor reality check
Amigurumi bunny, $8.50 yarn, $1.50 stuffing, $0.75 safety eyes, $0.50 notions, $0.50 pattern = $11.75 materials. 4 hours × $18/hr = $72 labor. +$1.25 packaging + $5.50 shipping = $90.50 total landed. Target 45% margin + 10% Etsy fees.
