Resin Casting Pricing Calculator: the true cost of your pours

Enter your pour and price the piece on your real costs, not a guess. Curing is passive, so there's no machine time to bill.

Resin pricing trips makers up because the mold and the resin hide the real cost, and cure time tempts you to bill hours you didn't work. Anvil HUD prices a pour the honest way: the resin you used, your colorant and consumables, the mold spread over the pours it lasts, optional bubble-control gear, and only the minutes your hands were on it. Not sure how much resin a mold needs? The built-in volume calculator works it out from the dimensions.

How we price resin casting

  • Material (resin by the gram) + colorant + the mold spread over its pours + optional equipment + your hands-on time make the raw cost.
  • A failure buffer and overhead load it; your fees and target margin set the list price.
  • No file to drop: enter the grams (or use the volume calculator) and the mold, and the breakdown is yours.

Every line is published at the math. No black box. The engine is free; you only sign in to save your work.

Questions

How do I price resin art?

Add up the resin you poured, colorant and consumables, the mold spread over its pours, any equipment, and your hands-on time, then load a failure buffer and overhead and divide by one minus your fees and target margin. Cure time is passive, so it isn't billed as labor. Anvil HUD does the math and publishes the formula at /the-math.
