Your piece is done. So how much do I charge?

You picked the cord, tied every knot, finished it off. Then a customer asks the price and you freeze.

Which of these have you said before?

  • How much do you all usually charge per hour?
  • I'm terrible at pricing, but I based it on the cost of materials, and it doesn't use much.
  • When you price a piece, do you usually add a percentage on top of the material cost?
  • Can you help me with pricing?
  • When you price, do you include the time you spend coming up with the idea and testing? I'd never stopped to think about that.
  • I really need help with pricing.

Little cord, many hours of handwork. Your price has to see both.
When you undercharge

Your time drops out of the math. You work, you deliver, and you almost pay to make the piece. As one maker told us: “Of 2 pieces I sold, I felt bad and practically gave them away.”

When you're afraid of seeming pricey

You leave out the hours, lower the price, and still hear that it's too expensive. “I set the price without counting my hours, nothing, and the lady still thought it was expensive.”

As one maker in the group replied:

“We're pretty much all in the same boat.”

You've tried lots of ways to land on that number

And each one left part of the cost out.

  • A percentage on top of materials

    The cord for a big piece costs little next to the hours it takes. A percentage doesn't see your time.

  • Copying another maker's price

    You don't know her hourly rate, her bills or her fees. You copy the number without knowing what's inside it.

  • Asking in a group

    “Has anyone made the rosary? What's the price range?” Everyone answers with the math of their own life.

  • The spreadsheet

    If you're not a spreadsheet person, you're stuck. Delete one formula by accident and the whole price changes.

In the makers' group

    She knew the math didn't add up. And she charged it anyway.

    When the number isn't written down in front of you, it's easy to go lower. That's why I made a calculator that shows the suggested price and the minimum price for every piece. Below the minimum, you're paying to work.

    How it works

    The math starts with your time

    One question per screen. The calculator adds up everything the piece cost, including what usually gets left out.

    1. 1

      You fill in your studio details, just once.

      How much you want to earn per month, how many hours you work and your fixed bills, like electricity and internet. It takes about 2 minutes.

    2. 2

      You describe the piece.

      The materials, the time, from cutting the cords to packing it up, and how you'll sell it: cash, card, or Etsy or an online shop, with or without shipping.

    3. 3

      Your price is ready.

      Suggested price, minimum price and the profit on the piece. You see where every dollar goes.

    What you get
    • Suggested price
    • Minimum price: below it, you're paying to work
    • The profit on each piece
    • The price broken down by color: materials, labor, monthly overhead, packaging and profit
    • An image, PDF or text to save
    • Confidence when a customer asks: you know the price and the minimum before you answer
    This is where my pieces are made. And where their price comes from.Bruna

    The result in the pricing calculator
    Tested on one of my pieces, in Brazil

    I charged $102.46. The math says $111.99.

    I ran my Ágape Yoga Mat Strap through the calculator. I sell it in Brazil, so I converted every price from Brazilian reais to dollars, at the rate of 11/04/2026. I used my real numbers: $9.15 an hour and 8 hours of work. For materials, 66.8 m of 4 mm cord, wooden rings, the packaging and a share of my power and internet bills.

    What I charged
    $0.00
    Minimum price
    $0.00
    Suggested price, with 30% profit
    $0.00

    Only 5% of the suggested price is materials. 65% is my labor.

    The $102.46 covers my time, with $16.43 left over. With 30% profit, the math comes to $111.99. With the number in front of you, you charge with confidence and value your work. You choose the price.

    I had to do this math, too.

    I'm Bru, and I love this creative, special world of knots made by hand. I've been doing macrame for 3 years, and I set up my own studio in Brazil.

    When I ran the numbers on my Ágape Yoga Mat Strap, I saw I was charging $9.53 less than the math showed. That piece is why I made the pricing calculator. Now I create solutions so you can charge for all of your work, with the number right in front of you.

    Now that math fits on your phone.Bruna
