How it works
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Sources & review
This calculator is intentionally platform-agnostic, so it does not attach a platform fee URL.
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
Die-cut 3×3 vinyl: $0.18 + $0.08 ink + $0.06 lam + $0.05 card + $0.03 bag = $0.40 materials + 1min × $18/hr = $0.30 labor = $0.70/sticker. 5-pack: $0.70×5 + $1.00 ship = $4.50 cost. At 55%+10%: per sticker $0.70/(1−0.55−0.1)+$0.30/5 = $2.06. But market price for 3×3 is $3-4. Realistic at 40% margin $1.35/sticker? Example shows bundle math.
