What your button really costs

Paper and ink are not spent per button, they are spent per sheet. Give the size and the quantity: the calculator works out how many fit, what is left over and what that costs per unit.

Free, no account. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

The order

It all starts here: the size decides how many fit on a sheet.

Button size

Cost per sheet

What it costs you every time a sheet is printed — on your printer or at the copy shop.

Paper and ink together.

Cost per button

What you buy per button, not per sheet.

Shell, back and pin
Bag, tag, card
Magnet, keyring, mirror

Parts per button

Your time

The hour you spend assembling is a cost too. It is the line that vanishes from most calculations.

Counting cutting, assembly and packing

Labour per button

Monthly costs (optional)

Power, internet, maintenance, subscriptions, divided by your output for the month.

Fixed cost per button

Your margin

How much of the final price stays with you once everything above is paid.

%

Cost per button does not fall smoothly: it jumps with every new sheet. Worth knowing before you quote.

Save your prices

The calculator works without an account. Data is only sent to buttonspal when you save while signed in.

Now lay out the real sheet

The editor uses exactly this calculation: it fits your artwork to the right template, mixes sizes on one sheet and gives you the file ready to print.
