Price a sublimation order
Enter your actual costs. Nothing you type is sent to our server.
Preset numbers are editable examples, not industry averages.
Wholesale tier check
A discount is applied after each quantity receives its own setup-cost calculation. Status compares the result with the selected margin or markup target.
| Qty | Discount | Product / item | Profit / batch | Margin | Hourly return | Status |
|---|
Planning estimate only. Verify your own costs, marketplace terms, taxes, and local obligations before quoting a customer.
Worked example
A 12-mug order is more than 12 blanks.
This example pays for setup and active work, allows for an 8% failure rate, and accounts for a 6.5% selling fee. Change any input in the calculator to match your shop.
Math: ($64.00 batch cost + $0.20 fixed fee) ÷ (1 − 45% margin − 6.5% variable fee) ÷ 12 units. Taxes and shipping are separate.

Markup is not margin.
Choose the business target you actually mean. The calculator shows both, so a 50% markup cannot quietly masquerade as a 50% margin.
Markup mode
Add a percentage of cost to your cost.
Price = cost × (1 + markup)Target-margin mode
Solve for the revenue left after cost and selling fees.
Revenue = (cost + fixed fee) ÷ (1 − margin − fee rate)A repeatable quote
Know where every number came from.
Enter current costs
Use the price you actually paid for blanks, consumables and packaging—not an old industry average.
Pay for time and failures
Separate setup from per-item labor, then use expected yield instead of simply adding the failure percentage.
Check the result
Review break-even, profit, margin, markup and the full batch before you send the quote.
Transparent by design
Defaults are examples, not “the right price.”
Your blank cost, waste rate, local wage target, marketplace plan and shipping arrangement can all change the answer. Every preset is editable, and fast-changing fee examples carry a review date.
