About this app

Know what every batch costs and what to charge for it. Batchwise is a recipe cost calculator for home bakers, cottage bakeries, farmers market sellers and anyone who makes things to sell.

Enter an ingredient once, with the package size and the price you paid. Then add it to your recipes in the amount you use: cups, tablespoons, ounces, grams, pounds or pieces. Batchwise works out the recipe cost, the cost per piece and a selling price with your profit built in.

HOW IT WORKS
• Pantry: type "5 lb flour, $4.29" once. Every recipe that uses flour knows what a cup of it costs.
• Recipes: add ingredients, the yield (24 cookies, 1 cake, 12 jars) and your time. See the batch cost and the cost per serving.
• Price: choose markup or profit margin, add packaging and overhead, round to a price that looks right ($2.25, $2.50, $2.99).
• When a price changes at the store, update it once. Every recipe that uses it updates, and you see which products lost profit.

RECIPE COSTING THAT ADDS UP
• Cups to grams and back: set how much a cup of each ingredient weighs, or use the suggested value. Batchwise never guesses a conversion silently.
• Waste and trim: account for the part you don't use (eggshells, peel, scraps).
• Sub-recipes: use a frosting or dough inside another recipe; its cost follows.
• Labor: add your hourly rate and the minutes a batch takes.
• Overhead and packaging: boxes, labels, gas, electricity, as a percent or a fixed amount.
• Markup vs. margin, explained: see both side by side so your profit margin is what you think it is.
• Scale a recipe: from 24 to 120 pieces in one tap.
