Material and waste
Include sheet cost, offcuts, failed jobs and unusable layout space instead of charging only for the visible part.
Laser quote calculator
Price laser cutting jobs without guessing.
Estimate material, waste, machine time, setup, labor, consumables, fees and margin. Built for small shops and makers who need a transparent quote floor before they decide the final market price.
Disclosure: this is a planning calculator, not shop-floor testing or guaranteed profit advice. Replace all assumptions with your own machine, material and local cost data.
Laser quote calculator
The fee field uses a gross-up formula, so a 3% payment fee is divided by 1 - fee rate instead of being naively added after margin. That keeps the final quote from under-recovering fees.
Start with the quote floor, then decide the selling price.
Machine and labor
Separate machine-hour economics from human setup/design time so small custom jobs do not quietly lose money.
Fees and margin
Gross up marketplace or payment fees, then add margin after the cost floor is clear.
