Sensory Mix Cost Calculator
$7
Stop guessing what to charge.
Know your numbers.
The Sensory Mix Cost Calculator tells you exactly what your mixes cost to make — and exactly what to charge for them.
Sound familiar?
Most sensory mix makers are leaving money on the table without even knowing:
😅 The guessing game"I just kind of...made up a price and hoped it was right."
😩 Busy but broke"I sold out at the market and somehow still barely broke even."
🤯 Too many variables"Between ingredients, packaging, my time, and fees, I had no idea what anything actually cost me."
There's a better way to price your mixes.
This calculator does the math for you. Enter your ingredients, packaging, and time and it spits out your true cost and suggested retail price for every cup size you sell.
The result?
You walk into every market and every Etsy or Shopify listing knowing exactly what to charge and feeling completely confident saying it out loud.

I built this because I needed it myself.
When I started The Creative Mix Shop, I was charging what "felt right" and hoping I was making money. I wasn't accounting for packaging. I wasn't paying myself for my time. I was burned out and barely breaking even.
Once I started tracking every cost, everything changed. I stopped second-guessing my prices and actually started making money, not just making mixes.
This is the exact spreadsheet I use in my own shop. Cleaned up, with examples, and easy for any maker to use.
