A branded storefront with products, services, cart and checkout.
Enter materials, hours, your hourly rate and overhead. You get a cost price, a wholesale price and a retail price using the standard handmade pricing formula - so every sale pays you, not just your supplies.
Add materials and packaging per item, plus your hours times an hourly wage, plus a share of overhead - that is your cost. Wholesale is usually cost x 2 and retail is wholesale x 2 (or cost x 3-4 if you only sell direct). Most handmade sellers undercharge by leaving out their own labour.

Enter materials, hours, your hourly rate and overhead in Pludor's free Handmade Pricing Calculator. It gives your cost price, a wholesale price and a retail price using the standard handmade formula, so every sale pays you, not just your supplies.
The calculator builds cost from materials, labour and overhead, then doubles it for wholesale and again for retail - the formula shops and craft buyers expect.
Most makers price from material cost and leave out their time and overhead. Once labour is counted, many prices turn out to be at or below cost. The calculator shows your real cost price first.
Yes - Pludor's Handmade Pricing Calculator is free and instant.
Hobbyists turned sellers price by what feels fair, forget their own time and overhead, and end up working for free.
Selling through DMs, link lists and screenshots loses orders: there is no cart, no real checkout, no order record and no way for new buyers to find you.
Every Pludor seller gets a hosted storefront at pludor.com/{store} with physical products, digital products and services, variations, a cart, card/wallet/QR checkout and an order dashboard - and every product is also listed in the shared Pludor marketplace so buyers can discover it.
On for every store, including the Free plan ($0, no item limit). Every feature is on for every store. Each month a free amount of everything is included (for example 3,000 visits, 100 AI replies and 30 bookings); past that you pay only for what you use, in credits (1 credit = 1 cent). New stores get 500 free credits. Monthly plans are optional bundles of credits with bigger free amounts and a lower fee. Pludor charges a platform fee of 2% + $0.90 per paid online order, deducted before payout. Card processing (Stripe) is charged separately by the processor. Cash sales recorded in POS carry no platform fee, and wallet-to-wallet transfers between Pludor users are free.
Add materials and packaging per item, plus your hours times an hourly wage, plus a share of overhead - that is your cost. Wholesale is usually cost x 2 and retail is wholesale x 2 (or cost x 3-4 if you only sell direct). Most handmade sellers undercharge by leaving out their own labour.
At least your local minimum wage; experienced makers commonly use $25-60 an hour. Your time is a real cost.
Retail has to cover marketing, fees, returns, slow months and a profit - and leave room for wholesale or sales without losing money.
