PriceMaker — Pricing Calculator for Handmade Goods
Help Etsy/Shopify makers quickly calculate fair prices considering materials, time, and platform fees
- Problem
- Handmade and baking sellers often struggle with pricing—either too low to profit or too high to compete. They discuss pricing frequently in communities like Reddit, but existing tools are either overly complex or require signup.
- Solution
- A minimalist web calculator, usable without registration. Input material costs, labor hours, packaging, platform fees, and it automatically calculates a suggested price with profit analysis. Data saves locally in the browser and can be edited anytime. Supports exporting quotes.
- Users
- Handmade sellers on Etsy, Shopify, bakers, DIY product sellers.
- MVP
- Material cost input; labor hours and desired hourly rate; platform fee presets; suggested price and profit display; local save; export CSV/PDF.
- Revenue
- Free basic features; premium $5/mo for multi-product management, batch calculation, and branded export.
- Why now
- Handmade e-commerce is growing, and under inflation small sellers are price-sensitive; a no-signup lightweight tool can spread quickly in communities.
