“Your time is worth $24 an hour. Most marketplace sellers unintentionally pay themselves under $6.”
When pricing is done by adding a flat markup to raw materials, platform commissions and payment fees chew into your labor wage first. Batchable solves the math backwards from marketplace schedules so your take-home paycheck is guaranteed before you list.
Built around how handmade makers actually work.
Spreadsheets hide mistakes until tax time. Complex inventory tools overwhelm you with setup. Batchable is designed with quiet luxury to ensure your craft sustains your life.
Pay yourself what your hours are worth.
Most makers drop their prices when sales dip, cutting into their own living wage. Set your target hourly rate (e.g. $26/hr) and enter preparation time down to the minute. Batchable multiplies your labor as a mandatory cost of goods before adding profit.
Reverse marketplace fee math.
Etsy takes 6.5% transaction + 3% payment processing + $0.25 + $0.20 listing. Because percentage cuts apply to the final customer total, forward markups lose money. We solve the algebra backwards so the buyer pays the cut.

Why makers & bakers leave their spreadsheets behind.
Most underpricing isn't poor craft — it's missing line items, forgotten hours, and fee formulas done in the wrong order.

Frequently asked maker questions.
Everything you need to know about formulas, platform fees, batch sizing, and privacy.
How do I price handmade items so I actually make money?
Start with your true cost: every material or ingredient, packaging, and the minutes you spend at a fair hourly rate. Then add profit on top — most makers and bakers aim for at least a 30% margin — and reverse in platform fees so the buyer pays them, not you. Batchable walks you through each step and shows the suggested retail price as you type.
What profit margin should a handmade product have?
A common rule of thumb for handmade goods and bakery treats is 30% or more. Below 20%, one broken jar or a price hike in butter can wipe out your profit entirely. Batchable flags thin margins as you work and shows what share of the selling price is actual profit, so you can adjust before you list.
How do Etsy fees affect what I should charge?
Etsy takes roughly 6.5% per sale in transaction fees, plus around 3% and $0.25 in payment processing, and a $0.20 listing fee — about 9.5% all-in before shipping. If you simply add 9.5% to your cost, you still lose money, because the fee is a percentage of the final price. Batchable solves the circular math so the fee is baked into the sticker price correctly.
What's the difference between markup and margin?
Markup is profit as a share of your cost (a 65% markup on a $10 cost adds $6.50), while margin is profit as a share of the selling price (a 36% margin on a $30.90 price means $11 of profit). Makers usually think in margin because that's what survives fees. Batchable supports both modes — pick markup or a target margin and switch any time.
Is this batch pricing calculator really free?
Yes — the calculator is free forever, with no account and nothing to install. It runs entirely in your browser, remembers your recipe between visits, and exports a shareable pricing card. A paid Studio Pro tier with cloud sync and spreadsheet exports is planned for sellers managing whole catalogs, but the calculator itself stays free.
Can I use it for cookies, candles, pottery, jewelry, or crochet?
Any handmade or batch product works: decorated cookies, bakery treats, candles, jewelry, pottery, crochet, soap, prints, and more. Enter as many ingredients or materials as a batch needs, price batch makes (fees are split across the batch), and calculate in USD, EUR, GBP, or AUD.
