“What will this fabric cost?” is a question every buyer has to answer. Building it up cleanly, from yarn to finished cloth, keeps quotes honest and margins protected.
Step 1: Yarn cost
Count, blend and grade set the base rate. For blends, use the blend cost calculator.
Step 2: Yarn quantity per metre
Convert GSM and width into yarn weight per metre with the weight per metre and fabric cost tools. Add wastage.
Step 3: Conversion cost
Add knitting or weaving job charges, which depend on construction and machine.
Step 4: Dyeing and finishing
Add dyeing, printing and finishing where relevant — these vary widely with shade and quality.
Step 5: Wastage, GST and margin
Allow for wastage at each stage, add GST, and apply your margin.
