Put every garment cost
on the same basis.

Build a material-inclusive estimate per accepted piece. Change consumption, costs and margin to see the effect on your quotation.

Values below are illustrative, not market rates. Cost inputs stay in your browser and are not included in tool-use analytics.
1. Define accepted output and material

96% yield means 4% of purchased material is lost. Purchased kg = net kg ÷ 0.96. If consumption already includes that loss, use 100% to avoid counting it twice.

2. Add costs per accepted piece (₹)
3. Allocate order costs and set margin

Margin is a share of selling price. It differs from markup on cost. Enter each cost once; use 0 where an item does not apply.

Know what the estimate includes

This simplified estimate combines purchased fabric, entered conversion costs and allocated order costs. It does not automatically price garment rejects, taxes, freight, testing, finance costs, discounts or other unentered charges. Convert them to this same cost basis where applicable. The result is not a net-profit forecast.

Buyer-supplied fabric still has an economic cost to the buyer. This material-inclusive estimate must not be compared directly with a job worker's conversion-only invoice. Confirm gross/usable width, shrinkage, marker efficiency and finished-garment rejects separately.

See the formulas and example

Purchased kg/piece = net kg/piece ÷ material yield

Cost/piece = fabric cost + component costs + order costs ÷ accepted quantity

Price/piece = cost/piece ÷ (1 − margin)

The example produces 0.250 kg purchased fabric per piece, 250 kg total fabric, ₹120 cost per piece and ₹150 price per piece at 20% gross margin. A 20% markup would instead produce ₹144.
