How to Use the T-Shirt Pricing Calculator
This t-shirt pricing calculator builds a custom shirt price from job-level and per-shirt costs. It works backward from your target margin so a volume discount does not quietly erase profit.
Capture garment and decoration costs
Use the actual blank cost for the sizes and colors being ordered. Add per-shirt print, transfer or embroidery cost, then enter artwork, screens, digitizing and other one-time setup separately.
Spread job costs across quantity
Labor, setup and shipping are divided across the order. That makes small orders more expensive per shirt and gives larger orders room for a structured discount without assuming production cost is identical at every quantity.
Price after selling fees
Percentage fees reduce the cash retained from each sale. The calculator solves for a customer price that covers fees and still achieves the selected profit margin after the quantity discount.
Build discount tiers deliberately
Run the tshirt price calculator for each volume tier using its likely labor efficiency, print cost and shipping. Publish the calculated list and discounted prices only after checking competitor pricing, order complexity and reprint risk.
