Laser Engraving Pricing Calculator Spreadsheet, Laser Business Quote Builder and Cost Sheet, Google Sheets & Excel + Offline App

Seller's description

Price every laser job in seconds: machine time, material, labour and your real profit, then print a clean quote for your customer.
An offline quote builder for diode, CO2 and fiber laser makers, plus the same calculations as a spreadsheet for Google Sheets and Excel.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
• Laser-Quote-Builder.html: the quote builder. One file that opens in your browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari). Works without internet, no account, no subscription.
• Laser-Quote-Builder.xlsx: the spreadsheet version with the same formulas (Settings, Machines, Materials, Jobs, Quote, Instructions). Works in Excel and Google Sheets.
• START-HERE guide (PDF): setup steps, a worked example and every formula explained.
• Examples: a printed example quote (PDF), and the example jobs as a backup file and as CSV.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Machines: enter the purchase price, expected life hours, power use and maintenance. You get your machine cost per hour (depreciation + electricity + maintenance). Add as many lasers as you own.
2. Materials: sheet goods (plywood, acrylic, leatherette, cork…) priced per sheet with the sheet size, or blanks priced per piece (tumblers, slate, keychains). Add your waste %.
3. Job: quantity, pieces per batch, laser time, materials, design/setup/handling minutes, packaging and extras, target margin or markup, rush order.
4. Result: cost per piece, price per piece, total, profit, margin and your effective hourly rate. Quantity discounts and the rush fee are applied automatically.
5. Quote: your business name and details, the customer, the item, discount and rush lines. Print it or save it as a PDF (A4 or US Letter).

FEATURES
• Laser time from your laser software (per piece or per full batch), or estimated from size with speed factors you calibrate on your own machine (calibration helper built in)
• Batch setup time spread across the pieces
• Selling and payment fees built into the price, so your target margin is what is left after fees (the tool always shows the margin you actually get, also after a discount)
• Price rounding (for example up to the next $0.05), quantity discount tiers, rush fee
• Saved jobs list: open, duplicate, re-quote
• Backup and restore (JSON file), export jobs to CSV
• Inches, centimetres or millimetres; any currency symbol; 1,234.56 / 1.234,56 / 1 234,56 number formats
• Light and dark mode, phone-friendly layout
• Example data (2 lasers, 8 materials, 3 jobs) so you can see it working before you enter your own

REQUIREMENTS
• A computer with Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari for the HTML tool. Opening a downloaded HTML file on a phone depends on the phone (Android: open it with Chrome; on iPhone/iPad the Files preview may not run it, so use the spreadsheet in Google Sheets there).
• Excel, or a free Google account for Google Sheets, for the spreadsheet.
• A way to unzip the download (built into Windows and macOS).

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• It does not open SVG files or laser software project files, and it does not control your laser. The laser time comes from you: the time your laser software shows, or an estimate based on your own calibration.
• One item type per quote (price a mixed order as separate jobs).
• No sales tax or VAT lines, no shipping rates, no syncing between devices. Your data stays in your browser unless you export it.
• It is a pricing tool, not accounting software.

LICENCE
Single commercial licence: use it in your own business for as many quotes as you like. Please do not resell, share or redistribute the files. The quotes you make with it are yours.

FAQ
Is it a subscription? No. You pay once and the files are yours.
Does it need internet? No. The HTML tool makes no internet connections at all; your data is saved in your browser on your computer.
Which lasers does it work with? Any diode, CO2, fiber or UV laser of any brand. You enter your own machine costs and times.
Can I use it in Google Sheets? Yes. Upload the .xlsx to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets (steps in the guide).
Can I change the currency and units? Yes: any currency symbol, inches/cm/mm, and your own fees and rates. Nothing is hard-coded.
Where is my data stored? In your browser on your device. Use "Export backup" to keep a copy or to move it to another computer.
Can I put my logo on the quote? The quote shows your business name and contact details as text. There is no logo upload in this version.
