Product Cost Sheet Generator · Manufacturing (India)
Build a proper cost sheet before you quote a price. Add raw materials, labour, overheads and your profit margin to get the true per-unit cost and selling price — the way every small manufacturer should price a product.
1 · Raw materials
Per batch of 100 units. Qty × rate = cost.
| Material | Qty | Rate (Rs) | Cost |
|---|
2 · Labour, expenses & overheads
Enter totals for the whole batch.
Cost sheet
Standard build-up to selling price.
How to make a product cost sheet before quoting
Quoting a price without a cost sheet is guessing — and guessing wrong either loses the order or loses money on it. A cost sheet builds the price up in clear stages so a small manufacturer in India knows exactly what a product costs and how much profit each quote carries. This free generator follows the standard costing structure used by accountants and cost auditors.
The cost sheet structure
| Stage | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Prime cost | Direct material + direct labour + direct expenses |
| Factory cost | Prime cost + factory / works overhead |
| Cost of production | Factory cost + administrative overhead |
| Total cost | Cost of production + selling & distribution |
| Selling price | Total cost + profit margin (then + GST) |
Direct vs overhead costs
Direct costs can be traced straight to the product — the steel in a bracket, the wages of the worker who makes it. Overheads are shared costs that keep the factory and office running — rent, electricity, depreciation, supervisor and office salaries — spread across everything you produce. A good cost sheet captures both, because ignoring overheads is the most common reason small manufacturers under-price.
Setting the profit margin
Profit is added on the total cost: Selling price = Total cost + (Total cost × margin %). Decide the margin from your market and competition. The tool then adds GST on the selling price to give the final quoted, per-unit and per-batch price your customer pays.
Per unit and per batch
Enter your batch quantity and the tool divides every figure to a clean per-unit cost and price, while also showing the total selling value and profit for the whole batch — exactly what you need for both the quotation and your own margin check.
Frequently asked questions
What is a cost sheet?
A statement that shows all the costs of making a product built up in stages — prime cost, factory cost, cost of production and total cost — then adds profit to reach the selling price.
How do I find the selling price?
Add material, labour, expenses and overheads to get total cost, add your profit margin, then add GST. The result is the price to quote.
Can I enter overheads as a percentage?
Yes. Each overhead can be a fixed amount or a percentage of the relevant cost (factory % of prime cost, admin % of factory cost, and so on).
