What you get

• bakery-recipe-cost-calculator.xlsx: blank workbook, tabs How to use, Dashboard, Settings, Ingredients, Recipes, Recipe lines
• bakery-recipe-cost-calculator-example.xlsx: the same workbook with 12 ingredients and 4 fictional recipes
• bakery-recipe-cost-calculator-guide.pdf: 1-page set-up guide
• README.txt, all in one ZIP

How it works

1. Settings: your hourly pay, overhead % and target profit margin.
2. Ingredients: package size (g, ml or each) and package price; cost per unit fills in. Change a price once and every recipe re-prices.
3. Recipes: pieces per batch, hours of work, packaging; Recipe lines: pick recipe and ingredient, type the amount.
4. You get batch cost, cost per piece, the price for your margin, profit at your price, and RAISE PRICE flags on the Dashboard.

Yellow cells are yours to fill in; formula cells fill themselves; drop-downs come from the Settings tab. Example prices are fictional; type your own.

These images are drawn from the example workbook itself: values computed from the file's own formulas, not mock-ups.

Format

Excel .xlsx workbooks (no macros, no add-ins) and a 1-page PDF guide. Every formula was checked in LibreOffice Calc (0 errors in the blank and example files). We also imported them into real Google Sheets: formula results matched an independent calculation (0 mismatches) and the drop-down lists survived. To use one in Google Sheets, upload the .xlsx to Google Drive, open it and choose File > Save as Google Sheets. We have not opened them in desktop Excel itself; they use standard functions (SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, INDEX/MATCH, IFERROR) that Excel supports. If anything looks wrong, email support@tuper.app and we fix it or refund you.

Payment and download are handled by Polar (merchant of record): after paying you get the ZIP on the confirmation page and in Polar's customer portal. Single business use; please do not resell or share the files.
