This free mug pricing calculator helps you price print-on-demand mugs for real profit. Mugs have a low base cost but heavier shipping, which quietly eats margins — so this tool subtracts your mug base cost, shipping and marketplace fees to show exactly what you keep per order, your margin, and the price needed for a 30% margin.

How much should I sell a mug for?
Print-on-demand mugs usually sell for $15–$22. Because shipping is high relative to the product, watch your margin closely — enter your base cost and shipping above to find a profitable price.
Why are mug margins tight?
Mugs are cheap to print but expensive and fragile to ship. Shipping can be a third of the order value, so factor it in — this calculator does.
Should I offer free shipping on mugs?
You can, but build the shipping cost into the price. Set 'Shipping you charge' to 0 and raise the retail price until your margin is healthy.
Is the mug pricing calculator free?
Yes — free, private and instant, with no account required.
