Still pricing soap in a spreadsheet the night before a craft fair?
Soap Cost Desk gives handmade soap sellers a calmer way to price each loaf, compare bar margins, and keep their latest recipes in one place without rebuilding formulas every time a cost changes.
Free plan: save up to 10 recipes, then upgrade only when your catalog grows.

What breaks in sheets
Spreadsheet friction shows up right before selling time.
One ingredient price change forces manual formula checks across multiple tabs.
Craft-fair prep gets risky when sell price, packaging cost, and margin live in different cells.
You cannot quickly compare a new loaf against last weekend's best seller without duplicating the sheet again.
What changes here
One desk for pricing, margin checks, and saved recipe history.
Save up to 10 recipes free and reopen them without rebuilding formulas.
See batch cost, cost per bar, profit, and margin together in one calculator-first screen.
Edit a saved recipe in place when oils, fragrance, or packaging costs move.
Best fit
Made for solo makers selling on Etsy, at pop-ups, and in small retail drops.
If you only need recipe costing, per-bar pricing, and a fast way to compare saved batches, this is the lighter desk between a fragile spreadsheet and a full inventory suite.
At minimum: oils, lye, additives, packaging, labor, overhead, total bars yielded, and shelf price so you can compare cost per bar against margin.
Why move away from a spreadsheet?
Spreadsheets work early on, but batch pricing gets brittle when formulas split across tabs and old craft-fair or Etsy versions linger in duplicate files.
Can I save more than one recipe?
Yes. The free desk stores up to 10 recipes or batches so you can compare pricing spread across your line before upgrading.
