The current economic crisis highlights the need to manage money more carefully. Some amateur jewelry makers have been happy for years just making money doing what they love. With this new, free, easy-to-use software, they can transform their hobby into an efficient money-making business.

After downloading the Jewelry Pricing Calculator it will guide users through the process of working out the hourly rate they should be charging, calculating all overhead costs, totaling all material costs for their pieces and instantly calculating their Wholesale and Retail prices.

HOW IT WORKS
The Jewelry Pricing Calculator encourages a user to set up goals on how much money they'd like to make with their business. The calculator will help determine exactly how much your time is worth. Then, users create a budget to sum up all the overhead costs of running a business - from utilities and rent to marketing efforts and design tools. The software comes with its own prompts and suggestions, but users can customize the management tool for their individual needs at any point in the program. Then users identify the jewelry they make or sell on a regular basis and break down the costs for each piece, including shipping costs and time to create the piece.

Any questions can be answered through the intuitive Help prompts throughout the program and there are also useful video tutorials on the download page to help guide you through.

Want someone to look over the numbers? Letting your distributor know what the new prices are? Want to coordinate with other employees? Send an Excel spreadsheet and share the numbers that define the business.
