Embroidery pricing tool

Know what to charge.

Build an embroidery quote from your garment cost, design data and real shop costs. Upload a DST—and when available a production worksheet PDF—to reduce manual entry.

3 free calculations availableNo account required for the first 3 calculations.
01

The project

Start with the garments you are pricing.

How many finished garments the customer will receive.
The calculator does not convert between currencies.
What you pay for one blank garment—not the customer selling price.
02

The embroidery

Add each place you will embroider.

Left chest + sleeve = two locations. Every garment is assumed to receive every location listed here.
03

Price & profit

Review setup cost only if it applies, then choose the profit you want to earn.

Keep it simple: fields marked optional can be left at 0/default when they do not apply. Open Advanced costing only when you want to fine-tune how your shop costs are calculated.
A one-time cost for this whole job. Leave 0 when there is no digitizing/setup cost.
True margin: the percentage of the final selling price left as profit after entered costs.
Advanced costing settings production method, machine time, materials & shop costs

These settings fine-tune what the job actually costs your shop to produce. Most businesses set them once and change them only when their normal costs change.

Embroidery production cost

Choose one method. Use your known stitch cost, or let the calculator build production cost from machine and operator time.

Internal embroidery cost / 1,000 stitches
Your total internal production cost for 1,000 stitches—not the customer selling price.
Don’t know your thread cost? optional helper

A spool contains a fixed length of thread, not a fixed number of stitches. This helper estimates only the thread-material portion per 1,000 stitches. It does not replace machine/labor costing.

Starting estimate: 6.0 m / 1,000 stitches. Matching PDF data can refine this.
Estimated thread cost / 1,000 stitches—
Approx. 1,000-stitch units / spool—
Estimate only. Thread is only one part of embroidery production. If you know your real internal stitch cost, use that number. If you do not know machine/labor cost, use Calculate from machine time.

Materials & shop costs

Every field here is optional. Add only costs that are not already included in your garment price or stitch/machine rate; leave 0 if they do not apply.

Thread & backing cost — per garment, per location optional
Example: 0.25 × 12 garments × 1 location = 3.00 job total.
Other cost / garment optional
Other cost for the whole job optional
Minimum embroidery cost / location optional
Remake / mistake allowance (%) optional
Business overhead (%) optional
Optional quote adjustments separate from normal production cost
Different purpose: these fields change or protect the final customer quote. They do not describe normal embroidery production cost. Leave them at 0/default when they do not apply.
Minimum job price optional
Round each item price to optional
Rush fee (%) optional
Discount (%) optional
Card / payment fee (%) optional
Fixed payment fees — whole job optional
Tax and customer shipping are excluded.
A calculation uses 1 of the 3 public uses. Uploading/analyzing files does not.
