PRICING REALITY Know what your crochet costs. Then test what the market can actually support.

YarnMargin calculates a cost-based target from the numbers you enter. It does not predict what customers will pay.

1. Item costs

Enter one product at a time. Yarn cost is calculated from skein price and grams used.

2. Selling fees

Keep these editable. Marketplace fees can change and vary by seller country.

Fee estimate: presets are editable examples, not guarantees. Processing, ads, VAT on seller fees, listing/renewal charges, shipping-related fees, currency conversion and other charges can apply. YarnMargin does not automatically calculate VAT or sales tax on your selling price. Apply the tax rules that apply to your business and country.

Pricing reality

Your target price is based on your costs, chosen pay for your time, fees and profit goal. It is not a prediction of what customers will pay.

MARKET REALITY CHECK

What if you sell at the price customers may actually pay?

Enter your planned selling price or a price based on comparable products. YarnMargin will show what that price really pays you.

This is your estimate, not a price YarnMargin predicts. Use your own market research, past sales or comparable products.

About the math

Transparent formulas; no hidden “AI price”.

Yarn cost = (grams used ÷ skein grams × skein price) × (1 + waste %).
Labour = hours × hourly rate.
Overhead = selected % of yarn + materials + packaging + labour.
Recommended price solves for your target business profit margin after percentage and fixed selling fees.
Break-even solves for a zero-profit price after selling fees.
This tool is for planning/estimation and is not accounting, tax or legal advice.

Offline use

Activation needs internet once. After that, the PWA can work offline for a limited grace period.

Connect periodically so YarnMargin can re-check that your license is still valid. Offline
