Maker's Margin

About

Stop guessing what to charge.

Maker's Margin is a pricing calculator built specifically for custom-work makers — woodworkers, leatherworkers, furniture builders, and anyone selling handmade goods where generic pricing tools fall short.

Unlike spreadsheets and candle-shop calculators, Maker's Margin understands the math your work actually requires:

FOR WOODWORKERS
- Board-foot conversion from length × width × thickness in inches
- Wood species dropdown with default $/bf prices (pine, oak, walnut, cherry, mahogany, ebony, and more) — fully overrideable
- Adjustable waste factor (0-50%) to account for cutting losses

FOR LEATHERWORKERS
- Square-foot calculation with leather-type defaults (chrome-tan, veg-tan, latigo, bridle, exotic)
- Editable price-per-sq-ft for every project

FOR EVERYONE
- Hardware and extras as separate line items (rivets, hinges, drawer slides, finish)
- Hours and hourly rate with live labor cost calculation
- Three markup tiers (2×, 3×, 4×) with profit-per-hour at each level
- Etsy-fee-adjusted prices so the number you see is the number you pocket
- Save unlimited projects locally, edit them anytime, duplicate as templates

PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY

Maker's Margin doesn't collect or transmit any data. Your projects are stored locally on your own device. No accounts, no logins, no telemetry, no ads.

Made by a maker, for makers. If you've ever finished a custom piece and wondered if you actually made minimum wage on it, this is for you.
