SKU.io BOM Cost Calculator

By SKU.io

Overview

Upload your bill of materials or recipe (parent product, component, quantity per unit, unit of measure and scrap or waste) and your component costs. The BOM Cost Calculator rolls costs up through every level of sub-assemblies, converts units like ounces to pounds or milliliters to liters, and adds labor and overhead if you give them. It shows the cost to make each product and how many you can make from the materials on hand, and for a batch size it lists every component you need, what you have, what you're short and what the shortfall costs. Built for makers of candles, cosmetics, supplements, food, apparel and kits. Files are processed in memory for the one request and never stored. No account is needed.

Use this when a maker, or a seller of kits and bundles, asks what a product costs to make or assemble from its bill of materials or recipe, how much material or how many components they need for a batch, what they're short of, or how many units or bundles the components on hand allow. Do not use for freight and duty on a purchase order. Works for candles, cosmetics, supplements, food, apparel, kits and assembled goods. Needs BOM rows (parent product, component, quantity per parent; optional unit of measure and scrap or waste %) and component costs (component, unit cost, optional unit the cost is per and stock on hand). Components can be sub-assemblies with their own BOMs; costs roll up through every level, and units like oz vs lb or ml vs l are converted. Without a build quantity it returns cost per unit for every product and sub-assembly and the max you can build; with a build quantity it returns each component's requirement, on hand, shortfall and cost. Labor and overhead per unit can be added. Read-only; stores nothing.
