An English Excel (XLSX) workbook for small makers and product businesses. Enter materials, recipes, work time, fees and fixed costs once, then see product costs, margins, the list price needed for your target margin, and what a discount or monthly promotion does to profit. One-time digital download with an illustrated HTML setup guide.

The problem it solves

Prices are often set by feel. Material costs, your own time, selling fees and fixed costs are easy to miss, so a discount or promotion can quietly turn into lost profit.

Who it is for

Small makers and small product businesses who set prices by hand and want to check costs, margins, discounts and promotions before they act.

What you get

• Costs flow from Materials and Recipes into Products, Offer and Campaign, so you enter them only once
• See contribution, profit after labour and fixed costs, and margin for each product and selling channel
• Offer sheet: test one product with a discount and see the list price needed to keep your target margin
• Campaign sheet: compare full price with a promotion over a month, using a growth rate you enter yourself
• Capacity and input checks warn you when a scenario exceeds what you can make or when a cell needs fixing

How you use it

1. Extract the ZIP, open START-HERE.html for the illustrated guide, then open MAXORI-Price-Margin-Studio.xlsx in desktop Excel and save a working copy.
2. Explore the fictional example first: open Offer and compare full price with 10% off, then look at Campaign.
3. Replace the fictional inputs in the amber cells, in order: Settings, Materials, Products, Recipes. Do not overwrite formula cells.
4. Resolve any input checks, then use Offer and Campaign to test discounts, channels and promotions before you change a price.
