Leather Pricing Calculator Spreadsheet, Leathercraft Cost per Square Foot, Wallet and Belt Pricing, Wholesale Check, Google Sheets Excel

Seller's description

Know what every wallet, belt and bag really costs to make, and what to charge for it after Etsy fees.

Leather by the square foot, the part of the hide you cannot use, lining, waxed thread, edge paint, glue, snaps and buckles, the dies, irons and machines that wear a little with every piece, and the time you spend cutting, stitching and burnishing: it all adds up. This calculator turns it into a true cost per item and a suggested price for the profit margin you want.

HOW IT WORKS
- Materials: type your hides, sides and panels once as you bought them (e.g. a 9 sq ft shoulder), plus thread, edge paint, glue and hardware as packs. The cost per sq ft, inch, ml or piece is worked out for you.
- Pattern pieces: one line per part. Pick the leather, type length, width and pieces. Square feet and leather cost fill in. Add a yield loss % for scars, belly edges, grain direction and offcuts.
- Tools and machines: what your dies, irons, skiver, sewing machine or laser cost and how many pieces they last, plus machine minutes per piece.
- Add thread, finish, glue and hardware, packaging and your minutes for each step from pattern to packing.
- Read the suggested price, then type your own price to see fees, profit, margin, earned per hour and the wholesale check.
