Hi everyone! The price calculation file is available on Google sheets, please make a copy of this file! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FZAqR_M9KlDlwV1_5yOHgk_vEBu9e5TohmDtdzOKoaA/edit?usp=sharing
WOW! i was waiting to see the price of the sheet, Thanks a lot! its very difficult to price crafting products, its so new to some people and they dont seem to understand that we dont have a big ol' printer where we press a button and a customised tshirt shoots out..blood sweat and tears goes into this business, thanks for helping me as well to justify to myself! how much to charge. God bless you
Oh my gosh, Kelly - thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart. There is just not enough words to describe how appreciative I am for your time and effort in drawing up this spreadsheet and especially your willingness to share this with all of us (for free). You are indeed a human angel ❤ PS. I recently stumbled upon your channel and I must tell you, it's absolutely like a good Netflix-series - I just want to sit and binge watch all the 'episodes' 😆
Oh wow, this is so amazing! You're such a gem of a human to share your knowledge and skills. Working on Excel myself I appreciate the time it took you to do this. Thank you again for sharing, it will be put to GREAT use! xxx
Hi Kelly, thanks so much for the calculator, makes our lives a whole lot easier 🙂... quick one, how does this take into account the cost of wear and tear. Have an order where the materials are being supplied, but its 120 largish print and cut items so quite a bit of wear and tear on blades, mats, ink etc - is the wear and tear factored into the markup on raw materials?
The cost of wear and tear is very minimal. I worked it out to be around R0.50 a project (super tiny!) obviously project differ in size and complexity and quantity, but for your average few sticker order its very small. I would suggest putting about a certain % of every order value aside for consumables like blades mats and a new machine one day if needed!
Thank you so much for this. Sorry, I did request for permission to change when I was trying to make a copy on my phone 🙈 I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos 🙂
Hi Kelly, 1stly, thanks so much for sharing this, it's a great help! Have you updated your prices on your spreadsheet accordingly since 3 years ago? I see the hourly cost still says R100, what do you charge per hour now?
Could you please let me know how to convert your quintage to American dollars and sense? Thank you so much for your videos they have been very easy to follow. I received a brand new cricket maker for Christmas this year. Even though I am a semi professional graphic artist I'm lost in CDS. LOL
Thank you so much for sharing, could you please update with mugs as well. I'm totally to this and my biggest problem is i don't know what to charge for mugs, sublimation or vinyl
You are so welcome! You can add a mug in the bottom section of the doc, as you would a tshirt or anything else, and to charge for the print - work out the cost of your ink, add in a small percentage for your printer (to replace one day when it gets old), and work out how many pages you can print with your ink. Divide that by the cost - and you have your price per page!
Im so glad it helped! Re: access to the document - please check the first tab for instructions on how to copy it. I do not grant access to the original document :) You will need to make a copy 😊
Wow!! Your video is so useful and amazing :-) Just one quick question: I live in Namibia and our pricing is a lot more, how can i change the price or can i maybe ask you to do it for me, pretty please. I need to quote someone on sandblasted (VTR101) vinyl and it costs 200.00/m and it is 1220mm wide. Tia
Hello, I am starting out with Cricut, I would like to know what vinyl you use and where do you purchase. As I see that cricut vinyl is a bit expensive. Any other comments welcomed. Thanks
Hi Celeste, yes that is correct. Like I mentioned in the video (if memory serves), if you need to buy small pieces of vinyl it is important to keep that in mind when working out costs, as smaller quantities are usually more expensive per square cm.
What money unit do you use where you live and the equivalent maybe in dollars would be great. Ok I looked it up. 50 Rand is $2.73 USD (today). I found you were in South Africa. Just leaving this here for more US folks.
hi Brandy! It doesnt matter which area you live in, you can just change the currency display - so just change it from R to $ - and then use only $ amounts! No need for conversions :)
Hi Kelly, so I'm trying work prices out. but I noticed that your sqm and multiplier ends on line 17 (also on the template)... is there a reason for this? Or do I need to drag down the formula so it fills the rest of the lines? Like the part where you show the sublimation print, does that not need to have the sqm and multiplier? I'm so confused!! I'm trying to work out a price for a shadow box, and it seems super expensive, don't know if I'm doing it right, lol
OK, is there somewhere I can contact you to get better understanding pls? Cos I'm not sure how vinyl and sublimation prints differ from quantity or sqm.
@@KellyRossouw buying my sublimation printer tomorrow and was trying to figure out how to work out pricing for this.. this will really help me as i new in the printing business 😊 your videos and Robyn are super helpful! Thank you 🌻

Morning! The R100 is simply a placeholder for you to add in your own hourly rate :)
This is awesome thank you so much. I'm a newbie and was worried about pricing but this definitely helps

Hi Carrie! All the formulas are the same, just change the currency of the column to USD :)
Amazing! Well done and well explained. Will definitely be using this. Thank you! ❤️
Thank you so much!! Glad it was helpful!
Thank You, does work for sublimation also or do you have a method to work out how much a A4 Sublimation page will cost?
You are welcome! You can take the cost of ink and divice it by the number of pages you print. Dont forget to add in a bit for printer maintenance!
@@KellyRossouw ❤thank you
Super helpful!! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Susan, glad we got connected on Facebook to help
Hello, I am starting out with Cricut, I would like to know what vinyl you use and where do you purchase. As I see that cricut vinyl is a bit expensive. Any other comments welcomed. Thanks
Hi Bryne, depends on where you are in the world. Im from South Africa and get my vinyl from Snippy Sisters
Hi Kelly! Does this pricing incl vat or should we add that in ourselves?
There is no VAT included, most of the audience I deal with dont charge VAT :) Because you cannot charge VAT if you are not VAT registered,
Thanks for sharing. Fabulous..
You are so welcome! :)
Question....why is it worked out on specifically 600 square cm? Does it have something to do with buying per A4 sheet?
Hi Celeste, yes that is correct. Like I mentioned in the video (if memory serves), if you need to buy small pieces of vinyl it is important to keep that in mind when working out costs, as smaller quantities are usually more expensive per square cm.
Thank you, very useful indeed.

Hi Kelly, so I'm trying work prices out. but I noticed that your sqm and multiplier ends on line 17 (also on the template)... is there a reason for this? Or do I need to drag down the formula so it fills the rest of the lines? Like the part where you show the sublimation print, does that not need to have the sqm and multiplier? I'm so confused!! I'm trying to work out a price for a shadow box, and it seems super expensive, don't know if I'm doing it right, lol
Hi Janine, thats because those items are based on quantity, and not square meterage, so the formula is different :)
OK, is there somewhere I can contact you to get better understanding pls? Cos I'm not sure how vinyl and sublimation prints differ from quantity or sqm.
Thanks!
Ah thank you so much Carol! Very much appreciated 💚
Thank you 🙂
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for this awesome download file!! Really appreciate it. I wanted to visit your website, but it seems it is not working. What a pity.
Thank you Nancy! You aren't missing much i promise 🤣

In what system is the raw cost size and Length and Weight of material used
Is it centimetres or inches.
It is in cm, however I would imagine that the calculations are the same regardless of which one you use :)
hello Kelly the link for your website doesn't work is there another way i can get a copy of the excel sheet?
Hi there! please check your spam box xx
i got it now thank you @@KellyRossouw
Great Video!
Thank you so much!
Hi Kelly, trust you are well. I do not know spreadsheets very well. If i buy my vinyl in 1m how to i work out the sqm and raw cost
hi Anneline! You will need to change the multiplier. If you buy 1mx30cm your calculation is: 100x30 = 3000. So your multiplier is 3000!
@@KellyRossouw thank you so much
Thank you!
You're most welcome!
