The note below is good for understanding your costs, but the other
piece of pricing is understanding what people are willing to pay. You
need to understand what people are willing to pay also and price your
bread appropriately. If they are willing to pay $6.00/loaf and it
costs you $5.00 - sell it for $6.00 and make a little, because it is
pretty much guaranteed that you will forget something in figuring your
costs and it is really costing more than you think, or will cost you
more when you need to buy new ovens or other equipment.

What is your cost to create the loaf? Include at least the following: 1) cost of ingredients 2) fractional value of your kitchen If you own the kitchen, what would it cost to rent it long enough to produce a loaf? Or a thousand loaves. 3) labor Pay others or pay yourself what you want to earn. 4) vehicle cost to and from market Probably around $.25/mile will cover it. 5) packaging costs 6) selling costs Your time at market. Your time traveling. Time preparing to go to market. 7) "shrink" You want to be paid for the product not sold, including samples. If you are happy working for the value you place on your labor, then you need not apply a mark-up. |
