Product-first pricing
Start with a product and add ingredient costs as you go. No setup screens, no inventory database to populate first.
Built for farmers market vendors
Know exactly what to charge at every market.
Market Margin is the simple profit calculator built specifically for farmers market vendors. Add your ingredients, see your true cost per item, and price every product with confidence.
First margin calculation in 5–10 minutes. No credit card to try.
Everything a market vendor actually needs.
Focused on pricing clarity. Not a substitute for accounting, inventory, or ERP software.
True cost per item
Capture purchase size, purchase cost, usage quantity, and waste. Market Margin handles the math so you stop guessing.
Suggested price + margin
Set a target margin and see the price that hits it. Or type a price and see the margin you would actually make.
Reusable recipes
Build a recipe once (e.g. chocolate chip cookie) and drop it into any product with a quantity. Costs roll up automatically.
Real take-home profit
Add a market with booth fees, tax, and card processing. See what you actually keep after every event.
No bookkeeping
Not an accounting tool. Not an ERP. Just instant clarity on what to charge, so you stop undercharging.
Frequently asked questions.
Who is Market Margin for?
Farmers market vendors who sell food they make themselves — bakers, jam makers, sauce makers, granola makers, and similar small-batch producers. It is not designed for restaurants, wholesalers, or large bakeries.
How long does it take to get my first margin number?
Five to ten minutes. You add a product, add ingredient costs as you go (no library setup required), enter your batch yield, and Market Margin shows your true cost per item and a suggested price.
Do I have to set up a cost library before I can price anything?
No. You add costs inline while building a product. Costs you create are saved automatically and reusable for the next product.
Does it handle booth fees, sales tax, and card processing?
Yes. You can add a market with booth fee, tax rate, and card processing percentage, then see your real take-home profit per product at that market.
Is this an accounting or inventory tool?
No. Market Margin is a margin calculator. It does not replace bookkeeping, inventory tracking, or tax filing software.
What about recipes I use across multiple products?
Build a recipe once (e.g. one batch of chocolate chip cookies) and attach it to any product with a quantity. Cost rolls up into the product margin automatically.
