Common questions
What does Batchery calculate?
Batchery works out your true cost per bar of handmade soap — materials, labor, overhead and packaging — then suggests retail and wholesale prices and flags when your margin is too low. It's a cost and pricing calculator, not a lye calculator.
Does Batchery do lye or saponification calculations?
No. Batchery is a cost and pricing tool, not a lye calculator. Bring your recipe from any lye calculator such as SoapCalc — you enter lye as a normal ingredient line and we handle the cost side.
Do I need an account to use the soap cost calculator?
No. The calculator is free and works instantly in your browser, no signup required. You can optionally email yourself a copy of your results.
Is Batchery free, and do you save my recipe?
Yes, it is completely free, and nothing is saved — all the math happens in your browser and no recipe is stored. You can optionally email yourself a copy of your results.
Can I use Batchery for candles or other handmade products?
Batchery is built for soap makers first, but the cost logic (materials, labor, overhead, packaging) works for most handmade products. Support for other crafts is on the way.
