Seller's description

Specifications

May include: A digital bakery recipe cost and pricing calculator spreadsheet for Excel and Google Sheets. The interface displays columns for recipe names, yield, cost, suggested price, and margin alerts. Features include sub-recipes, unit conversions, and a big order planner.

Stop guessing your prices. This calculator turns your recipes into real numbers: the true cost of every piece, a suggested price at your target margin, and a clear alert when a product isn't earning enough.

Made for home and cottage bakers, farmers market sellers and small bakeries. Works in Google Sheets and Excel.

WHAT IT DOES
• Cost per piece — ingredients, packaging, your labor and overhead, after breakage and samples
• Suggested price — from your target profit margin, rounded the way you like
• Margin check — type your current price and see instantly if it's below target
• Big Order planner — total cost, profit, batches to bake, sub-recipes to prepare and a shopping list with packs to buy

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• Sub-recipes: cost your buttercream, ganache or dough once and use it in any product
• Usable yield %: account for what you trim, peel or hull
• Cups, spoons, grams, ounces, pieces: set grams per cup once, then mix units freely
• Change one ingredient price and every recipe and margin updates
• Built-in checks tell you exactly what's missing in a row

WHAT YOU GET (instant download)
• PDF guide with a link to make your own Google Sheets copy
• Excel file (.xlsx) in a ZIP folder
• 6 tabs: Start Here, Settings, Ingredients, Recipes, Recipe Lines, Big Order
• Example data so you can see how it works — replace it with your own

HOW IT WORKS
1. Set your hourly rate, overhead per batch and target margin
2. Add the ingredients you buy: pack size, unit and price
3. Write your recipes in the units you already use
4. Read your cost per piece, suggested price and margin alerts

COMPATIBILITY & LIMITS
• Google Sheets (free Google account), Excel 2010 or newer (Windows & Mac), LibreOffice
• Not tested in Apple Numbers
• Best on a computer or tablet; you can view it on a phone
• Up to 200 ingredients, 100 recipes, 500 recipe lines and 20 lines per big order
• Sub-recipes can't contain other sub-recipes
• Works in any currency

FAQ
Is this a physical product?
No. It's a digital download — nothing will be shipped.

Do I need Excel?
No. A free Google account is enough.

Can I use it for my bakery business?
Yes, in your own business. Please don't resell or share the file.

Will it tell me the "right" price?
It shows your real costs and a price based on the margin you choose. The final decision is yours. This is a calculation tool, not financial or legal advice — please check your local cottage food rules.

Something isn't working?
Digital files can't be returned, but message me and I'll help you get it working.
