Know your worth

Price from real numbers, not guesses. Know your worth puts your costs, your fees and your time side by side for every product and channel.

Steps

  1. In Sell (Products), set Your time, $/hour at the top.
  2. Enter each product’s prices in the Online, Market, Wholesale and Faire columns, and its Pack $ each: the jar, lid and label.
  3. In Sales channels, set each channel’s Fees (% of each sale).
  4. Open More → Know your worth.
  5. Set your Target margin. It starts at 60%.
  6. Read across each product: its cost per unit, then for each channel the price and what you keep, the margin, and what you earn per hour.
  7. Use the At 60% margin and Keystone columns as starting points for your prices.

How the numbers work

  • Cost per unit: ingredients by weight, packaging, and your batch minutes at your hourly rate.
  • You keep: the price, less the channel’s fee, less the full cost including your time.
  • Per hour: what’s left after materials and fees, divided by the time it took.
  • The wholesale suggestion uses a margin 25 points lower than your target.
  • Keystone: wholesale at twice cost, retail at twice wholesale.
  • Suggested prices round up: to the next 50 cents under $10, and to the next dollar above.

Good to know

  • Until you release a batch, costs are estimates from the recipe and your material prices. Estimates leave out your time.
  • A red notice means a product loses money on at least one channel.
  • Missing ingredient prices or packaging costs make a product look cheaper than it is. Receive materials with their prices to fix it.
