What Should I Charge for This Job?

Fill in your real numbers. The calculator tells you your true hard costs and lets you model different profit margins.


$
$
Your fully-loaded hourly cost — what your time is worth.
min
Time you actually spend: file prep, bed leveling, removing the print, QC, packaging. Not machine run time.

$
What you paid, including shipping if applicable.
g
Your slicer's material estimate. Round up 5–10% for purge and support waste.
hrs
From your slicer estimate. Actual machine time, not wall-clock time.
%
Gross margin above total cost. 30–50% is typical for job shops at this scale. Recommended price = floor ÷ (1 − margin%).

This gives you a floor price for a single job. To track material costs, job history, and margin across your entire operation — that's what Offset3D is built for.
