Bakery Pricing Calculator

Bakery pricing calculator spreadsheet for home bakers and cottage bakeries: enter what your flour, butter, sugar, eggs, chocolate and boxes cost, how long each bake takes and what your marketplace charges, and see the price that hits your target profit margin, a wholesale price and your real profit at the price you charge now. One Excel workbook for every loaf, dozen and box you sell.

WHAT IT DOES

• Materials: enter each ingredient and packaging item once with what you pay for a bag, pound or carton and how many grams, millilitres or pieces are in it. The cost per gram or piece calculates
• Recipes: one row per material in a product. Pick the product and the material from drop-downs, type how much one batch uses (for example 280 g of flour, 225 g of butter and 2 eggs), and the ingredient cost adds up by itself
• Products: labour minutes at your hourly rate, overhead per item, packaging, shipping you pay and other costs give the total cost of one item
• Price for your target margin: the price that covers every cost and the marketplace fees and still leaves the margin you set
• Wholesale price: total cost times your wholesale markup
• Profit check at your current price: fees, profit per sale and margin. Products below your target turn amber, products losing money turn red
• Settings: hourly rate, overhead, transaction and payment fee percentages, fixed fees per order, target margin and wholesale markup. Change one and every price updates
• Room for 200 materials, 200 products and 1,000 recipe lines. Works in grams, millilitres, ounces or pieces and any currency

GOOD FOR

Home bakers, cottage food bakeries and market stall bakers who sell cookies, bread, cinnamon rolls and treats and want prices based on real ingredient costs and their time instead of guesses.

PLEASE NOTE

Same workbook as our Handmade Product Pricing Calculator, set up for baked goods (our Cake Pricing Calculator is the cake edition). If you already own one of them, you don't need this. Ingredient prices change: update your pack costs when you restock. Check your local food rules for home baking; this file does not cover them. Not accounting or tax software. Enter the current fees of the marketplace or checkout you use; they change. For use in your own business; please don't resell or share the files.
