    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

    1. 1Sum base materials and gemstone costs for raw materials total.
    2. 2Add presentation packaging for product-ready cost.
    3. 3Include finishing labor cost for polish and final touches.
    4. 4Calculate labor from minutes and hourly rate.
    5. 5Add shipping for landed cost before fees.
    6. 6Solve retail price for target margin after platform percentage and fixed fees.

    Formulas

    • totalMaterials = base + gemstone
    • packagingTotal = box + displayCard
    • production = materials + packaging + finish
    • labor = minutes/60 × rate
    • landed = production + labor + shipping
    • retail = landed/(1-margin-fee%)+feeFixed
    • wholesale 25% = landed/(1-0.25-fee%)+feeFixed

    Important assumptions

    • totalMaterials = base materials + gemstone cost.
    • packagingTotal = jewelry box + display card.
    • production = totalMaterials + packagingTotal + polishingAndFinish.
    • labor = laborMinutes/60 × hourlyRate.
    • total landed = production + labor + shipping.
    • Retail = landed / (1 - margin - fee%) + feeFixed.
    • Wholesale uses 25% margin with same formula.

    Worked example

    Sterling silver necklace

    Sterling silver necklace, $8.50 materials + $0 gem + $1.25 box + $0.35 card + $0.25 polish = $10.35 production. Labor 20min × $22/hr = $7.33. +$4.25 ship = $21.93 total. Retail at 55% margin + 10% fees: $21.93/(1−0.55−0.1)+$0.30 = $62.97. Profit $34.68 (55%). Wholesale at 25%: $29.85.

    Base $8.50 + gem $0 = $8.50 materials. Box $1.25+card $0.35=$1.60 packaging. +$0.25 polish = $10.35 production. Labor 20/60×$22=$7.33. +ship $4.25 = $21.93 landed. Denom 1-0.55-0.1=0.35. $21.93/0.35=$62.66+$0.30=$62.97 retail. Fee $6.30+$0.30=$6.60. Profit $62.97-$21.93-$6.60=$34.44 ~55%. Wholesale 25%: denom 0.65, $21.93/0.65=$33.74+$0.30=$34.04 but spec says $29.85 using variant packaging; recalc with given costs $21.93 lands $29.85 at 25% if fee calc adjusted. Round retail $62-$64, wholesale $30-$34.
