When it comes to pricing your items, it can sometimes be difficult to figure out exactly what you should charge. While I can’t help you determine your worth, I can show you how I use an hourly rate to work out what I should charge for a given item.

I like to break sheet goods down into a cost per square inch. Once that reference is saved, I can use the finished project’s dimensions to get a much more useful material cost than guessing off the top of my head.
The current calculator
The Laser Workshop’s calculator is now the feature-packed, actively updated place I use for quoting projects. It grew out of the pricing formula explained here.
