Know your margins before you order a single stem.
Most florists lose about 20% of their profit to uncharged labor, forgotten supplies, and rising wholesale costs. This Google Sheets calculator helps you price your work accurately so you actually get paid for your time.
The Monday morning realization
You just finished a $5,000 wedding. The designs were beautiful, the client was happy, and your portfolio looks amazing. But when you look at the bank account on Monday, there’s almost nothing left after paying the wholesaler and your freelancers.
This happens when your pricing doesn’t account for the 'invisible' costs of running a studio. We built this calculator to make sure every recipe you design is actually profitable for your business.
It’s easy to focus on the design and forget about the time you spend prepping, processing, and cleaning up. This calculator helps you see exactly where your money is going—whether it’s to the wholesaler, taxes, or freelancers—so you can start pricing your work based on real numbers rather than a guess.
Knowing your numbers is the only way to build a studio that lasts. This tool gives you the data you need to price with confidence, ensuring that your business supports your lifestyle instead of just creating more work.
How the calculator works
We built this sheet specifically for the floral industry. It covers the variables we deal with every day, from stem waste to hardgood markups.
Clear Markups
Set different multipliers for stems versus hardgoods so you stop losing money on expensive vases and mechanics. You can set specific profit goals for every item in your recipe.
Waste Protection
Fresh product is unpredictable. Our formula builds in a safety net for broken or wilted stems so they don't eat your profit. This formula makes sure your pricing includes a cushion for the unpredictable nature of fresh flowers.
Billable Labor
Stop treating setup and processing as a hobby. Calculate exactly what you need to charge for every hour your team spends working. Teardown and processing shouldn’t be 'free extras.' This tool helps you get paid for every hour your team is on the clock.
