UV Printer Pricing Calculator

Estimate production cost, selling price, profit, margin, and markup using the THP Pricing Engine.

PUBLIC BETA · v0.4.5

This calculator is in beta testing and will update frequently as measurements and feedback improve it.

1 · Verify email
2 · 0 of 3 distinct qualifying calculations
3 · Submit 1 meaningful qualifying contribution

Use Calculate after entering a valid job to count it. We retain normalized fingerprints and eligibility progress, not your complete proprietary job/pricing inputs. Unchanged calculations and cosmetic edits do not count again.

Official Beta Testers verify email, complete 3 distinct qualifying calculations and submit 1 meaningful qualifying contribution. Official Beta Testers who meet the eligibility requirements will receive complimentary Premium access when THP Pricing Calculator 1.0 launches. The duration and full details of the launch offer will be announced before the end of the beta.

Meaningful contributions can qualify automatically. Unclear submissions may require administrator review.

Calculator Mode Basic Advanced

Both modes use the same costs and formulas. Advanced shows configuration controls; switching preserves your job.

Job

Job / Product Name (optional) Quantity

Material

Material preset

Cost Per Item Calculate From Sheet / Roll

Material cost per item ($)

Item / printed area width (in)Item / printed area height (in)

Equipment

Equipment Profile Recoverable machine cost ($) Recovery target (operating hours) Average power draw (watts)

Ink

Ink calculation method

Enter the artwork-specific ink cost from your printer or RIP software when available.

Total ink cost for whole job ($)

Production

Machine runtime (minutes) Electricity rate ($ / kWh)

Default: U.S. all-sector average retail electricity price, July 2026: $0.1499/kWh. Edit for your local price. EIA source

Labor

One-time setup / design (minutes per job) Production labor (minutes per item) Additional hands-on labor (minutes per job) Labor rate ($ / hour)

Maintenance & cleaning

Maintenance calculation

Allocated cycles: 0 · Maintenance cost: $0.00. Includes configured cleaning ink, fluid and maintenance cartridges. Add maintenance hands-on time to Labor. Avoid charging cleaning twice if your reference print measurement includes it.

Other Costs

Consumables / packaging ($) Expected waste (%)

5% is a starting allowance for failed prints, not a measured printer failure rate. Adjust it to your experience.

Transaction fee (%) Fixed transaction fee ($)

Add-ons

Add purchased accessories such as necklace chains. Quantities follow job quantity unless you turn that off. Add-ons have their own selling prices. By default, selling price equals purchase cost; turn off “Sell at purchase cost” to set a different price. The printed product’s margin is not applied to add-ons. Print-failure waste does not apply to them.

Pricing

Product margin Product markup

Printed product target margin (%)

Minimum job charge ($) Selling-price rounding Rounding increment ($)

Calculation order: production costs → product margin/markup and add-on prices → minimum job charge → rounding → final selling price → actual fees, profit and margin. Rounding never reduces the price below your minimum.

Margin/markup sets the printed product’s price. Add-on selling prices are then added. Payment fees use the combined total, so the final job margin may differ from the product target.

Recommended selling price $0.00 $0.00 per item

Calculated selling price: $0.00After minimum job charge: $0.00

Profit/hour estimates setup + additional job labor + the longer of machine runtime or production labor. It assumes overlap; below one minute or without usable time it shows —.

Quantity pricing comparison

Comparison quantities (comma separated)

Setup/design and additional job labor stay fixed. Production labor and print-area ink scale per item. Sheet costs are recalculated, including whole-sheet purchases. Add-ons follow their quantity setting. These comparisons do not change your main job.

Quantity comparison assumptions

Machine runtime Known whole-job ink cost Consumables Entered cleaning cycles / maintenance cost

Scaled values use the current job amount ÷ current quantity. Automatic cleaning follows compared runtime. Electricity and recovery follow runtime. Manual add-on quantities remain fixed.

Product and add-on breakdown

The printed product uses its target margin/markup; add-ons use their own selling prices. Job minimum-charge and rounding adjustments are included in the printed-product selling price. Payment fees are allocated by share of final sales. These rows sum to the job total. Per-item totals include all add-ons divided by the finished-item quantity. Displayed shares may differ by a cent from the total because of rounding.

Component	Qty	Production cost each	Production cost	Selling price total	Cost incl. fees	Selling price each

Printed product + all add-ons per finished item$0.00Combined true cost each: $0.00

We count calculator loads, interactions, completed sessions and feature categories. We do not send job quantities, dimensions, times, costs, prices, margins, names, equipment/profile IDs or complete calculator data. These counts are separate from beta registration. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control disable these counts.
