Sound familiar?

Every maker hits these walls. Maker's Margin helps you break through them.

😩

"I hope I'm charging enough"

You spend hours making something beautiful, then pick a price that "feels right." But do you actually know if you're profitable?

🧮

Spreadsheet chaos

Your costs live in a spreadsheet you haven't updated since you bought that spool of filament three months ago.

📦

Running out mid-order

You sold 20 shirts and now realize you're out of HTV in the exact color you need. Low-stock alerts would have saved you.

⏱️

Forgetting to count your time

Materials are easy to track. But your two hours of design work? That never makes it into the price. But it should.

🔌

Hidden costs add up

Running a Cricut for 3 hours or a 3D printer overnight has a real electricity cost. Most makers never count it.

📉

Losing money on popular items

Your best seller might actually be your worst earner. Without real numbers, you're flying blind.

What you get

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Built around one goal: helping you price your work so you actually make money.
