Balloon Pricing Calculator

Balloon pricing calculator spreadsheet for balloon garland and decor businesses: enter what your balloons, helium, decorating strip, glue dots, greenery and hooks cost, how long each install takes, what you pay for delivery and setup travel and what your card processing 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 garland, arch and bouquet you sell.

WHAT IT DOES

• Materials: enter each supply once with what you pay for a bag of balloons, a helium refill or a roll of strip and how many pieces, feet or cubic feet you get. The cost per unit calculates
• Recipes: one row per material in a product. Pick the product and the material from drop-downs, type how much one package uses (for example 60 balloons of 11 inches, 40 of 5 inches, 6 ft of strip and 30 glue dots), and the supply cost adds up by itself
• Products: labour minutes at your hourly rate, overhead per item, packaging, delivery 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 pieces, feet, cubic feet or yards and any currency

GOOD FOR

Balloon artists and party decor businesses who build garlands, arches, bouquets and number balloon bundles and want prices that cover balloons, helium, delivery, fees and build time instead of guessing.

PLEASE NOTE

Same workbook as our Handmade Product Pricing Calculator, set up for balloon decor, with a Delivery column and card processing fees (2.9% plus 0.30) as the sample settings. If you already own that one, you don't need this. This is a spreadsheet calculator, not a printable price menu. 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.
