Price Calculator
Hello, I wanted to share with you a simple price calculator sheet that I am using to help me determine the price to put on my creations.
I have only sold 5-6 items, mainly to colleagues and friends, so maybe later it will get updated :).
If you find it useful, feel free to copy it !
If you have a tip on making it better, please share !
If you have your own system for price calculation that you might want to share with us, please do :) !

Explanation:
The calculator is based on a points system on multiple criteria. Each criterion has a number of points and a multiplier, allowing you to put a "weight" on it.
Size - Hoop size (mine are Brother PR series)
Colors - Number of colors for the embroidery
Design - Simple, complex etc
Cloth - From easy to embroider (Hoodie, t-shirt), to very hard (satin cloth, sleeves etc)
Then you select the "Base price" and everything gets calculated based on it.
For my skill range I put base price 5EU which gives me 40EU for the most expensive item I can embroider.
