Tips

1
Admin hours are real hours: photography, listings, customer messages, packing, the post-office run.
2
Run this on your best seller first - it's often not the product you think it is.
3
A low number isn't failure, it's information. Price, batch size, and process are all levers.

Open formula

True Hourly = (Revenue - Materials - Fees) / (Making + Admin Hours)

Net batch profit divided by every hour the batch consumed, hands-on or not.
