Good questions.
Straight answers.
Can I use the calculator for free?
Yes. The calculator is free and works without an account. Adjust the inputs to match your materials, machine, and selling fees.
Which plan is right for me?
Maker is for occasional sellers. Pro adds tools for running a print business, including saved marketplace fees and profitability insights. Studio builds on Pro with shared team workspaces and printer profitability comparisons.
Does margin mean markup?
No. Margin is profit as a percentage of customer revenue. LayerWorth works backward from your target margin and accounts for channel fees.
