Know what every item really costs, and what to charge for it
PanProfit is a simple recipe cost and pricing calculator for home bakers and small food sellers. Add your ingredients once and see your cost per unit, a suggested price and your real profit. When prices go up, update them in one place and see what changed.
No sign-up. Works in your browser. Your recipes stay on your device.
Pricing by gut feeling costs you money
Most small food businesses price by looking at competitors or guessing. PanProfit does the math so you can see which items pay off and which ones quietly lose money.
Add your ingredients
List what you buy once, with its package and price, in the unit you prefer: grams, ounces, each. Every recipe uses that same list.
Include the hidden costs
Account for trim and waste, packaging, labels, delivery and your own hours, so the cost per unit is the real one.
Price with confidence
See your food cost percentage, margin and profit per unit, plus suggested prices for your target margin.
Cost every recipe down to the ingredient
Build a recipe once and PanProfit works out the cost of every ingredient you use, even when only part of a package goes in.
- One ingredient list with your prices, shared by every recipe
- Usable percentage for trim and waste
- Packaging in its own block, your hourly rate and overhead set once for every recipe
See your whole menu at a glance
Compare every item side by side: cost, selling price, food cost percentage, margin and profit per unit. Color coding shows what is healthy and what needs a new price.
- Green, yellow and red margins against common food cost targets
- Cards or a printable table, with search
