Type in your costs and see your real cost and the right price in about 5 minutes. Spreadsheets for the crafts you actually sell, from shirts, tumblers and candles to soap, crochet, embroidery and cakes.
You price by gut, copy a competitor, or double your materials. It feels fine until you add up your hours, packaging, fees and the pieces that didn't turn out.
01
Materials-only pricing
Doubling your supply cost leaves out your time, overhead and fees.
02
Forgotten hours
Design, setup and finishing time rarely make it into the price.
03
Hidden costs
Packaging, platform fees and waste quietly eat the profit on every order.
The math is hiding the loss.
A real example
The $15 price that loses money on every sale
A maker guesses $15 for a handmade item. Once the calculator adds materials, labor, overhead and waste, the true cost is $18.95, so every sale at $15 loses money. The suggested retail price is $44.
Your guess$15
Real cost$18.95
Right price$44
That's $29 left on the table on every sale. Sell 4 at the right price and the Vault has paid for itself.

I got the whole enchilada and … it really does seem to cover any calculator I could possibly need. Thanks!
I suck at math and this Calculator helped me so much!
Starting from scratch is difficult enough with building inventory, tracking materials, and creating designs without having to figure out pricing for each different item. These calculators give you a step up plus you can modify to fit your specific situation.

Great customer service and great calculator for vinyl

Love the spreadsheets! They are very detailed and on point with what is required to get down to the actual costs of your products. Great tech support as well!

It’s clear that a tremendous amount of thought, time and effort has gone into developing this collection of calculators.
The sheer range of craft-related content is impressive, covering not only the practical aspects of making products but also many of the costs, processes and considerations involved in running a craft business. There are plenty of things covered that you might not initially think to account for when producing, pricing or selling your work.
Whether you specialise in a single craft or take a multidisciplinary approach to design and making, this is an incredibly useful resource. The breadth of calculators also makes it an excellent opportunity to explore other areas of crafting and gain a better understanding of the business side of creativity.
My only minor criticism, as someone based in the UK, is that the calculators are primarily designed around US conventions, including dollars and American date formats. However, these are relatively small inconveniences and certainly shouldn’t discourage anyone outside the US from making use of such a comprehensive resource.
I would also like to give particular praise to the customer support. The service has been wonderful, with impressively speedy responses and a genuinely helpful approach. It’s always reassuring to know that such a comprehensive resource is backed by people who are responsive and clearly care about their customers.
Overall, an impressive body of work, supported by excellent customer service, that represents a valuable resource for hobbyists, makers and established craft businesses alike. I would happily recommend it.

I needed a way to track the costs of my hobby. I enjoy making papercrafts and occasionally sell them. Knowing the value of each item makes sure I am charging accordingly.
An exceptionally useful Tool and gladly give it a 5-star rating.This spreadsheet is an extremely useful tool for any maker looking to organize and accurately price their products.

Hi Tyler! Thank you for your honest feedback. I’ll add detailed instructions directly to every spreadsheet and publish the updates within the next week. You’ll receive an email as soon as the updated files are ready to download. Thanks again!
I think once I have time to actually look at it, build it and use it. It’ll be a really good tool. Just seems like there’s a little bit of legwork to get a ticket to that point.
Wow this was amazing! Calculating vinyl costs has always been a bunch of guess work for me and this lays everything out nice and clear. I'm also bad about paying myself in the cost of my goods and this pretty much forces me to add in the cost. So helpful for my business!
Wow! One of my favorite mantras is 'what we need already exists'. This calculator has made us more efficient and has freed up our time for other important projects. Something so simple and it works really well.
Very helpful in helping me price custom heat transfer jobs. Once I figured out how to get the template out of Excel into Numbers it was so easy to use. Thank you.
