I have created this instant-download spreadsheet to assist all different kinds of DIY & indie makers - bath & body, cosmetics, food & drink makers, and more! With this file, you can not only easily change the batch size of your formula - it also calculates all your costs for you as you go, so you will always know what you product cost you to make - AND what you need to charge (wholesale or retail) in order to make a profit.
This fully-customizable document can be infinitely reproduced by you, so you can use it for all your recipes for years to come.
Provided as a Google Sheet so you can use it on any device, anywhere!
WHAT THIS SPREADSHEET DOES:
Formulation:
• Allows you to clearly document your recipes
• Automatically converts your percentage-based recipes to ounces and grams
• Simply enter in your batch size, in ounces - and it will tell you how much to include of each ingredient
• Ample space for mixing/assembly instructions, batch variation notes, etc
• Automatically saves your version history, so if you change a recipe and want to find the old one again, it will be there waiting for you
Costs & Pricing:
• Calculates the cost of each ingredient in the batch
• Calculates the cost of packaging, broken down by component
• Calculates the cost of your LABOR, customized to any wage or time requirements
It also includes 2 FREE additional spreadsheets:
• Percentage Converter, to transform your static weight-based recipes into dynamic percentages
• Raw Materials Cost Calculator: tell it how much you paid for your materials, and it will break down the cost by oz!
REQUIREMENTS & TECH SUPPORT
This document REQUIRES that you have a Google account (or that you create one)
Recommended for someone who already has BASIC experience with spreadsheets
All orders of this file come with ONE free hour of support by me to answer questions about how to use it. I have made it as easy-to-use and intuitive as possible, so it is unlikely you would need more assistance than that!
ABOUT ME:
I'm an indie maker, creating my handmade nail polish, bath & body items for a decade as of 2022!
I know, first-hand, how challenging it is to figure out how to price items to make a fair income from my work.
I have dyscalculia (a numbers-based learning disorder) and so it was paramount to me, when I started my business, that I create robust tools to make sure I got all my math right with minimum headache! This document is the culmination of my years and years of work to make the best pricing and recipe spreadsheet I could ever want.
