Your Etsy price is quietly lying to you.

Most handmade sellers price from the cost of materials — and forget the fees, the packaging, the shipping label and their own time. TrueCost adds everything up and shows what you really keep on every sale — and the price you should be charging.

Try it: what do you actually keep?

1 · Materials library

What you buy, what you paid, how much you got — pick the unit you bought it in. In a recipe you can use a different unit of the same kind (buy wax by the pound, pour it by the ounce) and TrueCost converts it for you.
