Materials are only part of the price.
Your time, packaging, the share of your rent and tools, and the fees taken when you sell all come out of the price. Leave them out and a product can look profitable when it isn't.
Three steps
Add your costs
Materials with unit conversion, labour for single pieces or batches, packaging and overheads.
Explore prices
See your break-even and target price, and your profit at different prices and discounts.
Save and review
Keep products and materials together and spot which ones need repricing when costs change.
When costs change
See which products a price rise affects.
If your wax supplier raises prices, every candle using that wax is affected. Saved materials are shared between products, so you can see which ones to review.
EXAMPLE: soy wax goes up from £20 to £24 per kg
