Questions people ask
How do I price a cake?
Add up the ingredients, packaging, your time at an hourly rate and a share of oven costs to get the total cost. That total is the minimum price. Divide it by one minus your target profit to get the price: £75.20 of cost at a 30% target is £75.20 / 0.70 = £107.43.
What is the minimum price for a cake?
The total cost, with no profit. At that price you cover your ingredients, packaging, time and overhead and make nothing on top. Charge less and you lose money.
Should I charge for my own time?
The calculator includes it, as hours times your hourly rate. Leave the rate empty to see the price with no pay for yourself, and compare.
What target profit should I use?
That is your own choice. The calculator starts at 30%, meaning £30 of every £100 you charge is profit after your wages, and you can change it.
