Next Step
Match the result to the right resin class
Use the estimate to narrow the resin class first. Then confirm product limits, cure behavior, and measurement assumptions before you make a buying decision.
A selling price that accounts for fees and profit
The calculator prices one successful finished piece. Direct cost includes resin, supplies, packaging, labor and overhead. Expected failures increase cost per successful piece by dividing by 1 minus the failure rate. Selling fees are assumed to be a percentage of gross selling price plus the entered fixed fee. Profit margin is profit divided by selling price. If your target is markup on cost instead, convert the target or use a separate markup calculation; a 25% margin is not a 25% markup.
What this calculator covers
- Resin and supplies, packaging, labor and overhead are separate inputs.
- Expected failed pieces and selling fees affect the amount you need to charge.
- The profit target is a margin on selling price; labor already counts as a cost.
How to measure or set the inputs
- Measure resin per finished piece and enter its price per liter of mixed material.
- Allocate supplies and mold costs, then add packaging, hours and your hourly rate.
- Enter your own failure and selling-fee assumptions; keep fee plus profit margin below 100%.
- Compare the calculated price with actual demand before offering the item for sale.
Common mistakes that cost money
- Treating markup and margin as the same percentage.
- Leaving labor, failed pieces or marketplace fees out of the cost.
- Interpreting the result as a guaranteed market price.
Project checklist before you buy
- Confirm the mold or surface is sealed before mixing resin.
- Measure depth twice at the deepest point of the project.
- Add extra material for waste, seepage, and edge soak-in.
- Confirm the resin type matches the intended pour depth.
- Prepare cups, stir sticks, gloves, and a level work surface.
FAQ
Questions people ask before buying epoxy
Is labor already included before profit?
Yes. Hours × hourly rate is part of direct cost. Profit is the amount left after that cost, expected failures and selling fees.
Does this predict what an artwork will sell for?
No. It calculates a price from the costs and margin you enter. Product demand, sales tax and shipping need your own assessment and inputs.
