About MakerCostCalc

MakerCostCalc is a calculator website for people making and selling physical products. Our initial focus is 3D printing and Etsy pricing, with room to expand to laser engraving, CNC, and small-batch production.

Our mission

We want to make production costing understandable. Filament price alone does not capture depreciation, electricity, finishing labor, scrap, shipping, or selling fees. Missing those costs can turn an apparently profitable order into a loss.

How we work

Our tools use readable formulas, editable assumptions, worked examples, and individual pages for different tasks. We aim to explain limitations instead of presenting sample costs as guaranteed rates. Marketplace figures are illustrative and must be checked against the seller’s actual country and account.
