The Business Brain for Makers & Artisans
The Handmade Business Toolkit is a focused costing and pricing workspace designed to answer one question: what should I charge for this product?
It’s built for creators who love the art of making but hate wrestling with complicated spreadsheets and bloated software.
Why Traditional Business & Manufacturing Software Fails Makers
Generic "materials x 3" formulas ignore cross-channel fees, studio overhead, and packaging—so the margin you think you earned disappears at checkout.
Bookkeeping and manufacturing software charge monthly for complex, bloated features you never touch, while the pricing math you actually need as a maker is nowhere to be found.
Cutting, finishing, packing, and photographing rarely make it into the price. When those hours disappear, your product can look profitable while quietly underpaying you.
Generic systems assume flat markups. They leave you blind to platforms like Etsy or Shopify that carry wildly different cuts, transaction rates, and shipping costs.
Corporate software forces you to pay for complex tools built for large supply chains. It creates immediate dashboard fatigue, driving you straight back to spreadsheets.
The Workspace Features
Four connected features built to run the business side of your studio, without the spreadsheet headaches.
One place for the numbers you keep redoing by hand.
- Price with confidence instead of guessing a multiplier.
- See materials, labor, overhead, and fees side by side.
- No spreadsheets to build or fix.
Know the definitive cost price of everything you make.
- Layers your supplies, ingredients, and packaging down to the last penny.
- Counts your real making time, not a rough guess.
- Folds in studio overhead and invisible labor (like daily admin and order packing).
Track every platform's cut at the same time.
- Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, markets, wholesale — each with its own fees.
- The Discount Stress Tester protects your margin before a sale goes live.
- See what free shipping really costs you per order.
Turn each supply purchase into better costing data.
- Log a receipt photo, supplier, discount, shipping, and taxes.
- Automatically updates your material and packaging costs across every item you make.
- Cost-increase alerts show which product prices need a review.
Tools to Protect Your Time & Your Margins
No enterprise bloat. Just the essential tools you need to know your costs and price with confidence.
The Value & Effort Price Ladder
Stop underpricing your genius. Your artistry isn't a commodity.
Traditional spreadsheets only care about cold numbers. Our interactive Price Ladder gives you permission to charge what your talent is actually worth.
Use simple sliders to layer a well-deserved premium onto your supply costs to account for your artistic talent, unique designs, and the physical toll a long day in the studio takes on your body.
The Discount Stress Tester
Know your true net payout before you run a flash sale.
Running a 15% off promo sounds great until platform cuts eat your entire profit margin. Before you launch any discount, plug it into the toolkit. The app factors in your exact sales channel fees and any free-shipping cost subsidies to calculate your absolute True net after fees and your Max safe discount. You'll know the exact mathematical line between a profitable sale and breaking even.
Supply Runs & Moving-Average Costs
Your latest supply prices flow into every product recipe.
Log what you bought, what you actually paid, and any receipt-wide discounts, shipping, or taxes. The toolkit shares those adjustments fairly across each line, updates your moving-average material and packaging costs, and flags active products that may need a price review.

“I used to think my macramé hangings were highly profitable because the cord was cheap. This toolkit forced me to account for my exact making hours and studio overhead. It completely changed how I view my business.”

Your Data Belongs to You
Zero cloud risks. Your records run entirely inside your browser storage and never touch an external server.
Your designs, margins, and financial records are nobody else's business. That's why this app doesn't store your records on a remote server. Instead, it runs entirely on your machine, using advanced, built-in browser storage that acts like a private, locked drawer on your computer.
Invisible Autosave Snapshots
As you work, the toolkit saves secure snapshots of your data in the background. If you close your tab or browser by accident, your workspace restores automatically the moment you return.
1-Click Manual Backups
Want extra peace of mind? Download a physical backup file (.json) to your own computer, flash drive, or personal cloud setup anytime you want.
Weekly Reminders
If you've been working hard on adjustments but haven't saved a manual copy lately, the app will give you a soft reminder once a week to keep your backups current.
Zero Subscription Lock-In
Your records are never held hostage behind a paywall. Your data is yours to keep, control, or delete completely at any time.
Made by a Maker, for Makers
I used to fight with messy spreadsheets and clunky tools too.
After 11 years running a textile jewelry brand, I'd tried almost every system out there. I got tired of clunky software, endless monthly subscriptions, and multiple spreadsheets that didn't talk to each other.
I built the Handmade Business Toolkit to solve that. It puts your costs, pricing, break-even, and profit targets in one simple place—with no logins, no monthly fees, and no broken spreadsheets.

Subscription fatigue is real. That’s why Handmade Business Toolkit is a one-time purchase—no monthly fees to access your tools or data. Join earlier to pay less and get more.
