Standard Formula for True Unit Manufacturing Cost
Reliable cost models used by small engineering units, machine shops, plastic injection molders, and garment factories across India.
The Universal Unit Costing Formula
Where Total Batch Materials includes raw inputs plus scrap allowance, Total Batch Labour equals hours multiplied by operator hourly wages, and Allocated Overheads accounts for plant power, machine wear, rent, and supervisory costs.
1. Direct Materials and Rejection Buffer
Always add 3% to 8% scrap buffer to sheet metal cuttings, off-cuts, sprues, or machining chips so scrap losses do not erode your operating margins.
2. Man-Hours and Operator Wages
Account for setup time, program loading, primary fabrication, secondary assembly, and quality checking multiplied by your actual hourly pay rates.
3. Tooling Wear and Power Overheads
Industrial machinery draws heavy peak electric loads and requires frequent tool replacement. Adding utilities and tool wear prevents hidden financial leaks.
4. Markup Percentage vs Gross Margin
A 30% markup over production cost yields approximately 23% gross margin. Use the interactive margin slider to ensure healthy cash flow for shopfloor expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Ex-Factory price and Landed unit price?
Ex-Factory price is the cost of the finished product at your plant gate with your profit margin included, excluding transport and taxes. Landed price represents the total delivered cost to the buyer doorstep, including outbound logistics and applicable GST.
How do I calculate machine wear and tooling cost per batch?
Take your monthly tooling expenditure such as CNC inserts, drill bits, laser cutting nozzles, coolant replacement, and divide it by your total machine operating hours. Multiply this hourly rate by the hours required to machine your current batch.
Does this data get stored or uploaded to any external server?
No. 100% of the cost calculation happens directly in your browser. None of your proprietary raw material prices, labour rates, or margins are saved or transmitted anywhere.
