Cost & Quote Estimator
Turn stitch count + your hourly rate + materials into a customer-ready quote. PDF export, price block injection into the Approval Link, or printable estimate.
Set up your rates
Settings → Rates Profile — fill once, reuse for every quote:
- Stitch rate — price per 1,000 stitches (e.g. $1.50/1k)
- Digitizing fee — flat per design (e.g. $35)
- Hourly rate — for hooping, color changes, finishing
- Minimum order — order floor
- Tax / VAT % — applied to subtotal
- Currency — USD, EUR, GBP, TRY, etc.
You can save multiple profiles (e.g. "Bulk wholesale", "Single retail") and pick per-quote.
Generate a quote
With a design open: File → Quote… opens the estimator. It pre-fills stitch count + thread color count from the active file. Enter quantity + add line items (hooping time, color changes, garment markup) and the estimator shows:
- Subtotal
- Tax
- Total per piece + Total order
Export
- PDF — clean one-page estimate with your studio name + logo
- Copy to clipboard — drop into an email
- Inject into Approval Link — the price block appears at the top of the customer's approval page, so the design + the price land in one place
Notes
Stitch count is the count for the active design. If your customer's order is 50 pieces, set the quantity field — the estimator multiplies the per-stitch cost across all pieces.
