From Cricut crafts to sublimation, how do you come up with a price for your homemade art? I actually found a free online calculator that does a really good job of calculating a beginning price for you to consider when you’re making your handmade items.

[{"selector":"#anim-09dc6199-8c18-4d01-b2c0-f868aa96187f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0)","scale(1)"]},"delay":101,"direction":"normal","duration":1401,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7a9b72a7-391e-4eed-b437-b3c3454e1695","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 150px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"direction":"normal","duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cc542690-5922-43df-a80f-85a53e59eae5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":750,"direction":"normal","duration":300,"easing":"linear","fill":"both"}]

I am actually showing you how to use an online pricing calculator for crafts in the video below. Just click play and watch as I show you this tool from the inside.

[{"selector":"#anim-728f60fe-86a6-4a67-9b36-c1b426fafade","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.05)","scale(1)"]},"delay":101,"direction":"normal","duration":1401,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a657305c-aa09-49d4-9847-8e674ac7154c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 100px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"direction":"normal","duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d01e095e-7e93-4dd1-aa2a-64b70d24379c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":700,"direction":"normal","duration":600,"easing":"linear","fill":"both"}]

The free online calculator is Craft Calculators that I use to price handmade items, which just requires an easy sign-up to start using. If you just want to calculate a simple price and get an idea of what to charge based on what you’re spending, then this is the website for you.

[{"selector":"#anim-17528e4f-bc34-429f-9706-1c62f8f65b52","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.05)","scale(1)"]},"delay":101,"direction":"normal","duration":1401,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5e78c790-f058-420d-8d8b-e8720b7e7328","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 100px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"direction":"normal","duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da53182f-cd92-4bde-ab33-0cef7261ea50","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":700,"direction":"normal","duration":600,"easing":"linear","fill":"both"}]

The handmade pricing calculator has several options to choose from. Let’s say I had a project and I was going to use heat transfer vinyl. You can select a t-shirt, hoodie, single-color designs, two-color designs, etc.

[{"selector":"#anim-cad9301c-a455-497f-ac62-e722c3d3e8c0","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.05)","scale(1)"]},"delay":101,"direction":"normal","duration":1401,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-29b14c62-88a7-400a-8990-dc06e69a7a86","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 100px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"direction":"normal","duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-032c27d8-8733-4bd8-8f5d-0c7e910a6b6e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":700,"direction":"normal","duration":600,"easing":"linear","fill":"both"}]

Next, let’s take a look at a sublimation example. I’m going to choose Sublimation and once again there are several options. I am going to choose a mug but you can pick from any of the calculators.

[{"selector":"#anim-a08aeb61-1547-47fc-a6b0-b419123ddd68","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.05)","scale(1)"]},"delay":101,"direction":"normal","duration":1401,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-df1cab09-e103-4d2e-8bfe-ee046fb6549c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 100px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"direction":"normal","duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7ef47994-03b5-452b-913f-643fff714667","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":700,"direction":"normal","duration":600,"easing":"linear","fill":"both"}]

The examples that I just described were all calculated using the free version. There is a paid version that has a few more advanced features. The price is $59.97 for full lifetime access and includes 80+ spreadsheets and the SVG database.

[{"selector":"#anim-2a86de86-34f9-4085-a4d7-5b7038975091","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.05)","scale(1)"]},"delay":101,"direction":"normal","duration":1401,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7c0c1438-d4e9-4de5-ba1c-96de710a2525","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 100px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"direction":"normal","duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f0715385-1ae5-43ff-809e-f900fb6fdb38","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":700,"direction":"normal","duration":600,"easing":"linear","fill":"both"}]

To me, the Craft Calculators help to make sure that you don’t forget anything when you’re thinking about your pricing.
