Fantastic! Love this video! So glad I made it in time for class! (I was late last week) *eek*

[@Coast2CoastSoaps]

Can't even begin to tell you how awesome this tutorial was. Numbers are not my thing. You just broke it all down and made it workable for me. Thanks Teach!

[@peepla7]

Yay! This actually made sense to me. And much better than the way I was doing it...operating at a loss cuz everyone wants a break. This is something I can stand on...the price is the price.

[@NewtonsMom]

I was calculating my costs like this and then realized I was spending a LOT on delivery and sales tax for my ingredients without accounting for it. Maybe not such a big deal where you are - but in in Spain the sales tax is 21%!!! (and I can't buy wholesale). Just a reminder to be a good detective and make sure you find your hidden costs. Thanks for the vid!!

[@popeye1283]

Hear Teach, Excellent tutorial for anyone starting out in the soap making business and a great guide/insight to all who do this as a hobby. It's always good to know the true cost of your products. Thank you. Luv, Rene x

[@genahamstra9287]

I am currently planning on becoming a "soaper", and your classes are very helpful, thanks for the great info!

[@MACTackleBox]

Amazingly detailed and full of great information! Thank you so much!

[@wdbreezy]

Excellent information - I'm going to need to watch this a few times (mathematically challenged here). Thank you for the video on this subject . Who wants to make and sell a product only to realize it's costing them more than they're profiting ? xx MMM

[@Americakb]

You are such a blessing! Thank you so much for doing these videos. :)

[@805Soap]

Thanks for the info...I am currently using Soapmaker 3 and love it.

[@MrsSoapPeddlersHomestead]

This was so very helpful! Thank you! I am close but I am going to use this and get a better cost effective price. Thank you again!

[@soaping101]

[@fluffysuds]

Great info and thanks for the link that will help a lot!

[@LindaWalpole]

Hi Teach, another great tutorial from you, and very interesting. Some time ago I downloaded a package similar to this one, it's called "Bill-N-Pack" and it has helped me very much. It has an invoicing and packaging part to it, and I think there are downloads for candle-makers as well. You can find it at Soapies Supplies xx Linda

[@lovesdolls88]

thank you for this video. Really a great help.

[@DeeWaterlily]

great tutorial.

[@MissButterflyblue1]

OMG, I am so not good with numbers, but seeing your video I really need to get my act together, but looks so hard to calculate, will have to listen to it again, and again. Thank you so much for the overview. The question now is were to start.

[@soaping101]

Love Soapmaker 3 too :)

[@MarciasMeadow]

Great video thank you!

[@NeoAbo]

Thank you for the links - The MAC link did not work for me, but I have the Microsoft Excel for MAC 2011 - so I downloaded the "CostCalc.xls -- Microsoft Excel 4.0 format". It works just fine with my MAC OS X version 10.7.5
