Find sellable yield
Units made × (1 − expected yield loss)
Tool 01 / Pricing & unit economics
What does one sellable unit actually cost?
Use one typical batch to account for the costs that quietly disappear from ordinary pricing calculations: labor, packaging, overhead, selling fees, and the units you cannot sell.

How this calculation worksShow the math +
Simple math. No mystery.
This tool is a planning estimate, not accounting advice. It makes the assumptions visible so you can change them deliberately.
Build the batch cost
Materials + packaging + labor + allocated overhead
Calculate true unit cost
Batch cost ÷ sellable units + transaction fee per sale
Test margin room
(Selling price − true unit cost) ÷ selling price

The Contract Manufacturing Playbook includes a landed-cost workbook that turns each quote into cost per good unit, with duty, freight, scrap, and tooling included, plus the guides and kits for choosing who makes it.
