Stop guessing. Price your bakes with confidence.
CostReady works out a fair price from your ingredients, packaging, postage, and time, and keeps it honest when supplier prices move.

Outcomes, not features
- Never undercharge again: every price includes your time and overheads.
- Costs rise, prices follow: change one ingredient and dependent prices update instantly.
- Sell to cafés too: separate public and trade pricing, side by side.
- Show your list anywhere: publish a live price list with a shareable link and API.

How do I price my baking?
Add up your ingredient cost, packaging, postage, and your own time at an hourly rate, then apply a profit margin on top. CostReady does this for every product and keeps it up to date when your costs change.
Is the calculator free?
Yes. The Quick Coster is free and needs no signup. A free account adds saved ingredients, recipes, and products; Pro unlocks unlimited items, trade pricing, exports, and a public price list.
Why do home bakers undercharge?
Most price on ingredients alone and leave out their time, packaging, and overheads. Costing every line and applying a margin is the fix, and recalculating automatically when prices rise keeps you from slipping below it.
Do you handle margin and markup?
Both. Margin is profit as a share of the selling price; markup is added on top of cost. CostReady shows the resulting price and your actual margin for each.
