What the calculator includes
The estimate combines filament usage, waste, machine time, electricity, labor, packaging, expected failure cost, minimum fees, margin, shipping, and tax. Inputs stay editable so the result reflects your own shop rather than a generic market average.

How is the suggested quote calculated?
The calculator totals production and labor costs, adjusts for expected failures, then applies your target margin and minimum fee before tax.
How do I calculate 3D printing cost per hour?
Multiply print time by your machine hourly rate, then add electricity for the same period. Material, hands-on labor, failure risk, packaging, and overhead still need to be added before setting the selling price.
What should be included in a 3D printing price?
Include filament and waste, machine time, electricity, preparation and post-processing labor, expected failures, packaging, job-specific purchases, overhead, shipping, tax, and the profit margin your business needs.
Does changing currency convert existing values?
Yes. Monetary inputs are converted to the selected currency and formatted with that currency's standard decimal precision.
Can I quote several printed parts together?
Yes. Add up to ten line items and export them as one customer quote.
How to calculate 3D printing cost per hour
Start with the printer's hourly machine rate: purchase cost, expected maintenance, replacement parts, and realistic billable life. Multiply that rate by print time, then add electricity for the same hours. This gives the time-based production cost, not the complete selling price.
From production cost to selling price
Add filament and waste, hands-on preparation and post-processing, expected failed-print cost, packaging, overhead, shipping, and any minimum job fee. Apply target margin only after the complete cost is known. The calculator keeps cost, profit, margin, and customer quote separate so underpricing is easier to spot.
