Stop guessing your production costs. Start pricing your garments with confidence.
Understanding your true manufacturing costs is essential to building a profitable clothing brand.
The SEAMLINK Apparel Costing & Margin Calculator is an editable Excel spreadsheet designed to help fashion designers, clothing brand owners, and production managers calculate garment costs, estimate landed expenses, and develop wholesale and retail pricing strategies.
From fabric consumption and sewing labor to freight, customs duties, and profit margins, this toolkit helps you understand where your money goes before committing to production.
1. Interactive Costing Dashboard
Enter your order quantity, shipping costs, target margins, and markup assumptions to automatically calculate landed costs, client production prices, suggested wholesale and retail prices, and estimated gross profits.
2. Detailed Garment Cost Builder
Break down individual manufacturing expenses including fabric, trims, labor, printing, embroidery, washing, labels, packaging, sampling, development, and miscellaneous production charges.
3. MOQ & Quantity Scenario Planner
Compare estimated costs across six example production quantities, from 50 to 1,000 pieces, to understand how order volume affects your unit costs and pricing.
4. Wholesale & Retail Pricing Calculator
Calculate suggested selling prices based on target wholesale gross margins and retail multipliers, with separate estimates for wholesale and direct-to-consumer profitability.
5. Freight, Duty & Landed Cost Planning
Account for logistics costs, applicable customs duty assumptions, and contingencies when developing your product pricing.
6. Built-In Instructions
Includes a getting-started page and instructions explaining which inputs to edit, how calculations work, and what to verify before using the numbers for real orders.
Independent fashion designers and emerging clothing brands
Streetwear, activewear, and apparel businesses
