Cost Calculator

Work out what a print actually costs to make - material, machine, energy, labour and packaging - live as you change any figure. Free to use without an account; sign in to save it as a draft product you can build on later.

Step 1

Product & filament

Filament is conventionally priced by the kilogram - enter that directly rather than working out a per-gram price.

Materials

Step 2

Machine & Location

What the printer costs to run, in £ per minute, and where it lives - pick one of your own printer configurations to fill in both at once, or work either out yourself. The calculation on the right always reflects whichever source is active.

Location

This is an estimate. Your real numbers don't have to be.

Save your filament, printers and purchases once and Additive Atlas prices every product from them automatically - no more re-typing a machine's specs each time you cost something new.

Labour rate

A cost isn't a price yet.

Turn this into a customer quote, track whether what you charge actually covers the bills, and get alerted the moment a price drifts too far from what it costs to make.

Step 4

Packaging & components

Boxes, mailers, screws, inserts - anything else that goes into the finished product.

Packaging

No packaging attached.

Components

No components attached.

Each markup is applied to that line's own cost - for items you buy in rather than make yourself.

Updates as you type - the same maths Additive Atlas uses for every real product.
