Machining Cost Calculator

Inputs

Batch quantity (N)

Number of good parts in the production run. Setup and tooling are divided by this quantity.

parts

Material cost each

Raw blank or allocated material cost for one part before scrap allowance.

$/part

Setup + programming time

One-time setup, programming, fixturing and proving time for the batch.

min

Setup rate

Hourly rate for setup/programming/fixture work.

$/hr

Cycle time per part

Machine cycle time per good part, including cutting and in-cycle tool changes.

min

Machine shop rate

Loaded hourly rate for the machine: labor, machine, overhead, power, maintenance and burden as you choose to model it.

$/hr

Deburr / inspect time

Per-part secondary time outside the main cycle: deburring, cleaning, inspection, packing or hand work.

min

Secondary rate

Hourly rate for deburr, inspection, finishing or other secondary work.

$/hr

Tooling / fixture cost

Batch tooling, workholding, consumables or special fixture cost to amortize over the run.

$/batch

Scrap allowance

Material scrap/yield allowance applied to the raw material cost.

Markup

Cost-plus markup applied after direct cost. Enter 0 for a bare internal cost estimate.

Method notes 4 notes

Setup cost is $90.00 total, amortized over 25 parts: $3.60 each.
Tooling/fixture cost is $80.00 per batch: $3.20 each.
Machine cost each = cycle time (hr) × machine shop rate. Keep labor/overhead inside the rate if that is how your shop quotes.
Direct cost each = material + machine + setup + tooling + secondary operations. Quoted price applies cost-plus markup after that direct cost.
