Description

Time to get your inventory organized – get a handle on your costs, set a profitable price point, and finally understand your inventory when it comes to taxes.

If you’re a physical product seller, you may be struggling with exactly HOW to handle tracking your goods. Not to mention all those raw materials and supplies (beads, fabric, shiny things, tiny things, #allthethings, oh my!).

The process for entering raw materials & supplies, figuring out the cost of a handmade item, and setting a profitable price point for a maker can be time-consuming and stressful. And don’t forget about doing that year-end inventory count for tax purposes!

If you’re tired of wasting energy trying to figure out a way to track inventory or price your handmade goods on your own, a Paper + Spark inventory spreadsheet is for you!

Plus knowing just how much your products cost you to create and how much you should sell them for are two huge MUST DO’S for any creative biz owner that’s serious about building a profitable, sustainable business.

That’s exactly what the Inventory for Handmade Sellers spreadsheet does for you – it takes the guesswork out of pricing your handmade goods and tracking your inventory numbers for tax time.

• Keep you organized by logging your raw materials & supply expenses (and automatically calculating your cost per unit)
• Determine how much your finished goods cost you to create to ensure accurate pricing for profit
• Calculate your suggested overhead rate, an important {and often forgotten} component of your pricing formula
• Calculate a wholesale and retail price, based on a formula that you have the flexibility to adjust
• Keep track of finished goods available for sale and sold throughout the year
• Keep track of inventory taken out for personal use (an important number for tax time)
• Easily calculate the tax numbers you need for inventory (total purchases and ending inventory)
• Take the stress and overwhelm out of your year-end inventory count
