Most home bakers earn less than minimum wage.

When you're not tracking your real costs — ingredients, labour, packaging, overhead — you end up working for almost nothing. Bakeculator makes the maths effortless, so every order is profitable.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Is Bakeculator really free to start?

Yes. The Starter plan is free forever — no credit card required. You get up to 25 ingredients, 10 products, and 5 quotes with full live cost calculations. Upgrade to Baker or Business whenever your business grows.

Does it handle Natasha's Law compliance?

Yes. Bakeculator tracks allergens on every ingredient. When you build a product, allergens are automatically aggregated and printed in bold on your product labels and quote PDFs — exactly as required by Natasha's Law (UK Food Information Amendment 2021). You can generate labels at multiple sizes including small jar labels (50×80mm).

How is the suggested sell price calculated?

Bakeculator adds up your ingredient cost, labour (time × your hourly rate), packaging, and overhead allocation to get your total cost. It then applies your target margin or markup percentage to suggest a sell price. You can override this with your own price at any time — and the app shows your actual margin at that price.

Can I use it for market stalls and multiple products?

Absolutely. Bakeculator is designed for bakers selling at markets, online, or by custom order. Build as many products as you need, organise them by category (Celebration Cakes, Cupcakes, Traybakes, etc.), and generate quotes for any combination of products for a single order.

Can I scale recipes up or down?

Yes. The recipe scaling tool lets you preview any recipe at 0.5×, 2×, 4× or a custom multiplier. Ingredient quantities, labour, and costs all update live. When you're happy, click "Apply to recipe" to save the scaled version permanently.

What's included in P&L reports?

The Business plan includes a full profit and loss dashboard. Revenue comes from your invoices. Ingredient cost comes from your purchase log (actual money spent, not estimates). Operating expenses (utilities, wages, stall rental, marketing, etc.) are tracked separately. Net profit = Revenue − Ingredients − Expenses. You get a monthly breakdown, top customer analysis, and expense category breakdown.

Can I email quotes and invoices directly to customers?

Yes. Baker and Business plan users can email quotes and invoices directly from Bakeculator. Emails arrive from your business name, use your custom subject and body template, and include the PDF as an attachment. No need for a separate email client.

Is my data secure? Can I cancel anytime?

Your data is stored securely in Supabase (hosted on AWS). You can cancel your subscription at any time from the Account section in Settings — your data remains accessible on the free plan. If you delete your account, all data is permanently removed.
