Hello, I came across a really nice product cost calculator that breaks down the cost of any product right down to how much per drop. It is at saratogascents.com, then go to cost calculator. My question is, does anyone know of a downloadable version of this type calculator. I would like to enter all my items into something like this and keep it on my computer so that I could modify and add to it.

I don't think it does what you want.. you must add up all the cost and mult by amount used.. this gives you a cost per oz or drop of something cost.

I like the Soapmaker 3 I purchased about a month ago. It's excellent for calculating batch/item costs. It's an investment, though.

Yes. Keeps track of suppliers, shipments, purchases, inventory, recipes...calculates lye/liquid, etc., batch costs according to what you have entered into inventory. Also stores non-soap recipes such as lotion bars, lotions, scrubs, etc. No more trying to calculate how much packaging/labeling costs. It will let you know when you're running low of an item, assuming you're diligent about entering each time you make a batch. If you do a lot of soaping, it's terrific.

Another vote here for soapmaker 3. I've been using all versions for a long time now and the best around and the price is very reasonable.

I just purchased it last week. I like it although I am still trying to learn my way around it. I've only had time to put in two recipes, and I need to clear out the sample lists of supplies. It seems really neat!

I wouldn't want to have to live without it!
I use the Saratoga Scents one to see what my soap would cost if I were selling it. But I'm nowhere near close to selling yet. I would love Soapmaker but I have a Mac & it's not Mac compatible. Hopefully in the next few years, by the time I'm ready to sell, it will be.
