Free Print Shop Labor Rate Calculator
Know you true costs of doing business.
Many businesses miss the true cost of labor when crunching the numbers. For custom-branded merchandise businesses offering signage, screen printing, embroidery, and direct-to-film, knowing these costs can make the difference between a profitable year and one that puts your shop in the red.
What You'll Calculate
Your shop's true hourly labor cost, beyond just the wage you pay.
How wages, overhead, and operating hours combine to affect pricing.
A clearer labor rate to plug into future quotes with confidence.
Where hidden costs are quietly eating into your margin today.
Why Your Rate Matters
A quote based on a guessed labor rate can quietly lose money on every job. Wages are only part of the real cost. Overhead, downtime, benefits, and non-billable hours all factor into what an hour of labor actually costs your shop. Without that full number, even a strong quote can leave margin on the table or price you out of work you should be winning. Getting this rate right protects profitability without changing anything else about how you run jobs.
