Krookz 10 Posted April 5, 2013 Put this together.... used the L + H / 2 method. Added 1% per complexity and 60% per additional color on multi-layer stickers. How does this compare to everyone elses calculations? Looks pretty close to the online RTA calc + my +$2.50 per stickers under 10" Vinyl Calc.zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,450 Posted April 6, 2013 N-P Pricing is one of the most asked-about questions, second only to "My cutter stopped working -- why?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krookz 10 Posted April 6, 2013 So I made this because there wasnt much available out there, to help myself and others with the same questions. And all I get back are a bunch of smartass comments. Thanks guys... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OWJones 1,981 Posted April 6, 2013 When you say "there wasn't much available", you mean other than the dozens of forum threads and posts already covering pricing calculations? http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/topic/39592-in-desperate-need-of-pricing-help/ http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/topic/39899-pricing-help-on-large-wood-sign-please/ http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/topic/39843-looking-for-pricing-opinions/ http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/topic/39832-whats-a-decent-price-for-doing-these-signs/ http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/topic/17897-heat-transferable-vinyl-run-and-need-help-pricing/ http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/topic/39700-need-help-pricing-etched-mirrors/ http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/topic/39554-pricing-dilemma/ And those are just from the 1st page of the Business Practices sub-forum. It's not that no one appreciates your work, it's just that this topic has been covered numerous times before and there are already pricing calculators on the forums. And no one calculator solution will work for every one, or even every job. So, thank you for your work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mopar691 281 Posted April 8, 2013 I have not charged for material for quite some time. Way to much else to figure out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
egobuster1 9 Posted April 9, 2013 it just shows that when you put in your dimension of your graphic it shows how many square inches of vinyl its going to use then above it is the cost per square inch. then i have to the option bar to adjust my markup as i feel needed and then payment type so that way if a customer pays with paypal it just adds in the 4 percent or what ever and if they pay with a credit card then it just adds the 3.2% for that giving me my total charged cost for everything.
