The reveal takes a moment. Making it ready to sell takes more.
Pigments, mold wear, losses and 72 minutes of hands-on work belong in the cost of the whole set. These are worked-example costs. CrafterBy helps you calculate yours.

From making it to selling it
The colors look right, the piece comes out of the mold and there is that satisfying moment of seeing what you made. Then you turn it over. The edges need attention, the surface needs finishing and the set still needs packing before it is ready for a customer.
If your price came from the resin kit and a little extra, that remaining work has nowhere to go. A complete cost follows the piece beyond the pour, through the finish you are happy to put your name behind.
02 / See what the price leaves you
In this fictional four-coaster set, resin and hardener are $6.30 of a $42.80 making cost. Pigments, mold wear, a loss allowance and 72 minutes of labor complete the example. Packaging and selling costs still need consideration.
That’s after the costs listed in this example. Any unlisted packaging, fees and other expenses still need to come out of it. Move the price to explore the difference.

A fictional worked example, not a recommended price. Include any packaging, overhead, selling fees and applicable taxes not listed here before treating the remainder as profit. Changing the price doesn’t predict demand.
Make the next decision with the numbers visible
The fictional coaster example uses $6.30 of resin and hardener, but reaches $42.80 for the four-piece set after pigments, mold wear, labor and a loss allowance. The listed 72 minutes of work matter more than the resin receipt alone suggests.
Put your version in a CrafterBy product template. Keep its quantities and finishing time together, then review the cost when the design changes. Compare selling prices with the margin tools, including packing and selling expenses before calling the remainder profit.

Before you make the next batch or quote
A template can hold the repeatable parts without pretending the result is identical. Start with the mold, material quantities and familiar process, then adjust the inclusions, layers and hours for the actual piece.
For a completely new commission, separate the known costs from estimates. Reviewing those assumptions after the job makes the next quote more informed; the calculator does not remove the uncertainty of making something new.

Before you start
Review the extra material and active work it adds. A familiar footprint does not mean the same pour quantity or finishing process. Compare the revised making cost before choosing a price.
Use your own results, and keep unfamiliar designs separate when their uncertainty differs. Revisit an estimate as you collect evidence. Count losses once rather than in both the quantities and another allowance.
No. The $42.80 example is for a set of four. Keep the unit you are selling explicit in your own calculation, including whether packaging serves one piece or the whole set.
Yes. You can begin with one product and the materials you already use. Choose one coaster set or small piece you have already finished. Bring its pour quantities, consumables and active working time to the free calculator. You don’t need a team or a large catalog to start understanding your costs.
At a $78.00 selling price, $35.20 remains after the $42.80 of costs listed in this fictional example. Any packaging, overhead, selling fees, shipping you cover or applicable taxes not listed here can reduce that amount. Include your active labor as a cost too; it is separate from the margin left afterward.
