Frequently asked questions

An offline pricing and profit tracker for iPhone and iPad. You log materials at package prices, build recipes for what you sell, set a target margin, and the app computes cost per unit and a suggested price. When you make a sale, stock deducts itself and profit lands on your dashboard by product and channel.

Completely. Materials, recipes, sales, reports, and Quick Sell all function with zero signal. Only the one-time Pro purchase and optional CSV sharing need a connection.

Not currently — MakerMargin is an iOS and iPadOS app. There are no plans for Android right now; the free web calculators on this site work on any device.

12, including USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, and JPY — and the app interface itself is translated into 8 languages.

Yes. Products, materials, and sales each export as CSV from Settings → Export. Your data is never hostage to the app.

The app is free with up to 3 products — every other feature is unrestricted. Pro removes the product limit and costs $2.99 as a single one-time purchase. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.

Really. One payment, charged once to your Apple account, yours forever including updates. There is no monthly or annual tier at all.

Download the app with the same Apple ID and Pro restores automatically. If it doesn't, the upgrade screen has a Restore Purchases button.

Entirely on your device, inside the app's private storage. There is no account, no cloud sync, and no way for us — or anyone else — to read your business data. Deleting the app deletes the data; that is the deal.

The app sends a small number of anonymous usage events (app launch, feature interactions) so we can spot bugs and improve features. No names, no emails, no location, no advertising identifiers. The full policy is on the privacy page.

They run 100% in your browser. The numbers you enter never leave your device — you can verify this by loading a calculator, going offline, and continuing to use it.

Cost per unit divided by (1 − target margin − selling fees). Cost per unit is (materials + labor + other batch costs) ÷ units per batch, plus packaging per unit. Material costs derive from package prices — a $3.50 5-lb bag of flour is $0.70/lb, so using 2 lb costs $1.40 per batch.

50–70% is the healthy band for small-batch handmade goods. Below 40%, one wasted batch or slow market consumes your profit. The true-margin readout in each calculator shows where your current price actually lands.

Yes — they are built mobile-first and work in any modern browser. Add them to your home screen for market-day what-if pricing without installing anything.
