Crochet Price Calculator for Crochet Projects
Use this free crochet price calculator to estimate a fair price for your crochet projects. Enter your yarn and material cost, time spent, hourly rate, business expenses and profit markup to calculate an estimated wholesale and retail price in INR. It is designed for crocheters, handmade sellers and small craft businesses in India.
The calculator uses a practical cost-plus-markup approach inspired by the Balanced Method for crochet pricing. Your actual selling price can vary depending on complexity, finishing, demand, customisation and your market.
How to price a crochet project
Start with the direct cost of the yarn and other supplies used for the project. Add the time required to make it using a realistic hourly rate, then account for business expenses and your desired markup. The calculator combines these inputs to give you estimated wholesale and retail prices.
What each field means
Materials / Supplies Cost: The yarn and other materials consumed while making the project, entered in INR. You can shop yarns and craft supplies from StickyKnots.
Time to Complete: The number of hours you expect to spend making the crochet project.
Cost Per Hour: Your working rate per hour. Use a rate that reflects your skill, time and local market rather than treating your labour as free.
Business Expenses: A practical allowance for expenses such as tools, electricity, packaging, workspace and other costs connected with selling handmade work.
Markup: The additional percentage you want to earn above the calculated cost.
Crochet pricing in India
There is no single correct price for handmade crochet. A small keychain, a detailed amigurumi, a garment and a large blanket require very different amounts of material, skill and time. Use the calculator as a starting point, then consider your product’s complexity, finish, uniqueness and the customers you are serving.
If you price artwork or crochet products using dimensions instead of time, you can also try our dimension-based artwork pricing calculator.
