Garment Cost Calculator
Calculate the total cost of making a garment including materials and labour.
How We Calculate This
Cost Formula
Materials = Fabric Cost + Interfacing Cost + Notions (zip + buttons + thread)
Labour = Sewing Hours x Hourly Rate
Total Garment Cost = Materials + Labour
The retail comparison shows whether your handmade garment costs more or less than buying a similar item from a shop.
