3D print price calculator FAQ

What is the difference between margin and markup?

With a $2 cost, 40% markup gives a $2.80 price. A 40% profit margin gives a $3.33 price. Markup is a percentage of cost; margin is a percentage of the selling price.

What happens to my numbers?

Calculations happen in this browser. Your last valid settings are saved on this device if storage is available. A copied calculation link contains your cost settings, so only share it with someone who should see them. Customer quotes leave out your internal costs.

Are tax and platform fees included automatically?

No. Sales tax is optional and entered by you. Local tax rules, marketplace commissions and shipping fees are not inferred. The summary is an estimate, not an invoice.
