How much should I charge for this bake?

Enter the ingredients as they appear on the receipt, how long it takes you and the profit you want. We do the maths and give you the price per item.

No account needed. Your recipe is only saved on this device.

1. The recipe

2. Ingredients

Enter the price and size on the receipt; we work out what you actually used.

3. How many items

A whole cake = 1. If you sell it by the slice, enter the number of slices.

They cost money too: the ones you sell pay for them.

4. Your time

Working time

Count everything: shopping, prep, baking, decorating, packing, washing up.

If you leave this empty, the price doesn’t pay for your time — it’s like working for free. Think about what you’d ask for an hour of any other work.

5. Packaging, gas and electricity

Box, cupcake case, ribbon, label… whatever each item needs.

A starting estimate for the oven, mixer and water — change it if you know better.

6. Your profit

That’s the same as adding 43% to the cost.

Profit is what’s left after paying for ingredients, packaging and your time — it’s for saving and growing the business.
