From Stitch Count to a Price You Can Quote
The OS 360 Pro Quick Calculator takes the details of a job (stitches, colors, stitch types, size, pieces, fabric, machine, RPM and heads) and builds a cost breakdown: thread, backing, digitizing labor, machine run time and overhead. It then recommends a price per piece at the margin you choose.
- Cost breakdown per job and per piece: thread, backing, digitizing labor, machine run time, overhead
- Recommended price at your target margin
- Production time breakdown: stitch run, color changes, hooping, thread breaks, bobbin changes, setup and QC
- Thread yardage (top and bobbin), spools and backing sheets, with a waste buffer
- Upload artwork and the form is pre-filled (AI Design Extraction)
How to Price an Embroidery Job by Stitch Count
- Gather the job details. Note the stitch count, number of thread colors, quantity and the garment.
- Estimate machine time. Divide the stitch count by your effective machine speed, then add time for color changes, hooping and setup.
- Add materials and labor. Add thread, backing and needles per 1,000 stitches, the garment cost, and the machine and operator hourly rate.
- Add overhead. Add your overhead percentage to the subtotal to get the total cost.
- Set the price. Divide the total cost by one minus your target margin to get the price, then divide by the quantity for the price per piece.
Free Embroidery Price Estimator
A simple estimate with the assumptions shown. Change any number to match your shop.
Assumptions: setup 15 minutes per job, hooping 1 minute per piece, 0.4 minute per color change. This is a simple estimate. The OS 360 Pro calculator uses your own machines, thread, labor and overhead settings.
The Problem This Solves
Guessing the price
Quoting by feel leaves money on the table. A cost breakdown shows what the job really costs before you name a price.
Forgetting hidden costs
Thread breaks, color changes, hooping and setup take real time. The calculator counts them so they are in the price.
Unrealistic delivery dates
The production time breakdown and your machine queue give you a delivery date you can actually keep.

FAQs
How do you price embroidery by stitch count?
Add up what the job costs to run (thread, backing, garment, machine time, labor, overhead), then divide by one minus your target margin to get the price. Stitch count drives machine time and thread use, which is why it is the starting input.

The free plan includes 5 free AI calculations per month; extra calculations are $2.00 each. The simple estimator on this page is free with no account.
Can I calculate screen printing jobs too?
Yes. OS 360 Pro includes a separate Screen Printing Calculator.
Does it include thread and backing?
Yes. The breakdown includes thread, backing, digitizing labor, machine run time and overhead, and estimates thread yardage and backing sheets.
