Violet Wexley Batch Cost Calculator

Stop pricing cakes off a gut feeling and a calculator app.

This is the actual cost-and-margin math behind every price you charge — ingredient cost, labor, overhead, and a real market check, all in one working spreadsheet. Fill in your numbers once per recipe and it tells you exactly what to charge and why.

What it does:

• Full ingredient cost breakdown — up to 12 ingredients per batch, cost calculated automatically as you enter amount and cost per unit
• Labor & overhead built in — baking labor, decorating labor, packaging labor, utilities, and equipment or booth fees, all in one place
• Cost analysis that does the math for you — total production cost, cost per unit, and a suggested price at your target profit margin (35% built in, fully adjustable)
• Market comparison — enter two competitor prices and see instantly whether you're positioned as Value, Competitive, or Premium
• Final Pricing Decision section — set your actual selling price and see your real break-even quantity and expected margin, not just the suggested number

What's included:

• The Batch Cost & Margin Calculator (Excel spreadsheet — opens in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet program you already have)

This is yours forever. One-time purchase, no recurring fees, works completely offline once downloaded.

Perfect for anyone who's been pricing by feel and wants to know, for the first time, exactly where their numbers actually land.
