Macaron Pricing Calculator: FAQs
How much should I charge for macarons?
Cost the shells and filling per batch, allow for the pieces that do not pass, add packaging, then apply your margin over the labour and skill involved.
Should I account for failed macarons in the price?
Yes. Macarons have a higher wastage rate than most bakes, so build a sensible allowance into the batch cost so your margin survives the rejects.
Why are handmade macarons priced higher?
They demand precise technique, careful ingredients, and time, and a portion of every batch is lost. The price reflects skill and risk, not just ingredients.
