Laser Engraving Pricing & Quote Toolkit

A spreadsheet that prices every product you make on a laser, for every channel you sell on, and turns custom orders into a printable quote. It uses the same math as the free calculators on this site, across your whole catalog at once.

$27

one-time · instant download

Coming soon on Etsy and Gumroad. Until then, the free calculators run the same math, one product at a time.

One .zip with the English and Spanish workbooks (.xlsx) and short read-me files in both languages. No macros, no account, no subscription. Etsy or Gumroad handles payment and delivery.

What's inside

11 sheets, filled in with a working example

What the example shop shows

The workbook ships with the same four products used across this site, so you can check every figure against the free calculators.

Product Costing and Pricing, default inputs
ProductUnit costEtsyOwn siteCraft fairWholesale
Acrylic keychain 2×3"$4.03$8.99$7.99$9.99$5.77
Birch ornament 3.5"$3.98$8.99$7.99$9.99$5.70

20 oz tumbler (rotary)$17.28$35.99$30.99$32.99$24.69

Quantity breaks for a custom keychain order

Design and setup are charged to the job, so the price per piece falls as the order grows. Custom orders are quoted to the nickel.

1004$7.05$705.00

A quote for 40 keychains, each with a name

40 keychains at the 40-piece price of $7.40 come to $296.00. Add a $25.00 artwork fee and $27.78 for personalizing 40 names at a minute each, and the quote totals $348.78, with a 50% deposit of $174.39 and the same again on delivery.

What if material goes up 15%?

The keychain and ornament absorb it and stay at $8.99. The walnut board's cost rises from $31.78 to $34.05, its Etsy margin at $63.99 falls to 36.6%, and it needs $68.99 to keep 40%. The tumbler's margin drops to 38.4%; $37.99 restores it.

Free calculators or the toolkit?

The calculators on this site are free and stay free. Use them to price one product. The toolkit is for running the whole shop's prices in one place.

Spanish edition included

Edición en español incluida en la misma descarga: todas las hojas, etiquetas y nombres de hoja traducidos, con las mismas fórmulas.

Both editions are in the same .zip, so a shop with Spanish-speaking staff or customers doesn't need to buy twice.

Who it's for

  • Owners of a desktop or small-shop laser (diode, CO2 or fiber; Glowforge, xTool, OMTech or any other) who sell on Etsy, at fairs, on their own site or to other businesses.
  • Sellers who take custom and bulk orders and need to quote them quickly and consistently.

It is not accounting or inventory software, it doesn't connect to Etsy, and it doesn't teach laser technique. Figures are estimates, not tax or legal advice. Fees were last checked on 2026-10-27 and are editable.

Questions about the toolkit

What exactly do I download?

One .zip file containing the English workbook, the Spanish workbook and short read-me files in English and Spanish (README.txt, LEEME.txt). Both workbooks are .xlsx files with the same 11 sheets.

Which apps does it work in?

Microsoft Excel (Windows, Mac and web), Google Sheets (upload the file and open it with Sheets), Apple Numbers and LibreOffice Calc. It uses standard formulas and no macros.

Can I use millimetres or a currency other than dollars?

Yes. Sizes have no built-in unit, so millimetres work as long as each material and product uses the same unit. Money cells hold whatever amounts you type; change the cell format if you want a different currency symbol.

Is it the same math as the free calculators?

Yes. The formulas are the same and the example shop gives the same results, for example a $4.03 keychain priced at $8.99 on Etsy. The toolkit adds the whole catalog, quantity breaks, quotes, what-if and payback.

Are the platform fees current?

They were last checked on 2026-10-27 for US sellers. Every fee lives in the Channels sheet as an editable input, so you can update it in seconds when a platform changes its pricing.

What if something doesn't work?

Message Piece Math through the platform you bought from, Etsy or Gumroad, and describe what you see.
