Build a transparent cutting quote

Laser Cutting Cost Calculator

Estimate laser cutting time, machine cost, labour, production cost and a selling price at your target gross margin.

Method

How this tool works

Machine time = cut length ÷ speed + piercing + setup. Production cost combines machine, labour and material; quote = cost ÷ (1 − margin).

Worked example

A 2,000 mm path at 1,000 mm/min takes 2 cutting minutes before pierces and setup are added.

Use responsibly
