Calculate cost-plus price
Add direct materials, direct labor, and overhead per unit, then apply the markup you want. The result shows the price, profit, and margin at both unit and batch level.
Use a quick scenario to test common cost-plus setups.

Cost-Plus Pricing Calculator
Build a selling price from the full cost base, not just from intuition. This calculator combines direct materials, labor, overhead, and markup so you can quote with a cleaner price floor and a clearer margin picture.
Formula
How to calculate cost-plus pricing
Selling price = Total cost per unit × (1 + Markup / 100)
First add direct materials, direct labor, and overhead to get the full cost per unit. Then multiply that total cost by one plus the markup rate. If total cost is $50 and markup is 60%, the selling price becomes $80.
Where cost-plus pricing helps
- Quoting custom work when cost transparency matters.
- Building a safer price floor for small-batch production.
- Separating overhead from direct cost before negotiation starts.
Useful next step
Once you have the cost-plus price, check whether the quote still works after discount pressure, target margin goals, or break-even volume assumptions.
