Recipe costing software

Know exactly what every product costs to make

If you make products from a recipe — chocolate, candles, skincare, baked goods, soap — knowing the true cost per unit is the foundation of a profitable business. Prodexa calculates it for you automatically, from your own recipes and ingredient prices.

The problem

Most small makers underprice — because costing by hand is error-prone

Calculating the cost of a handmade product sounds simple. In practice it’s easy to miss things: a small but expensive ingredient, the packaging that goes in the box, the labels, your own time, the share of monthly overheads. By the time you add everything up properly, the margin can look very different from what you expected.

And when a supplier puts their prices up, every product that uses that ingredient needs recalculating. On a spreadsheet that means updating each one by hand. In Prodexa, you change the ingredient price once and every product’s cost updates automatically.

What Prodexa does

Recipe costing that stays accurate as your costs change

Ingredient cost per unit

Enter your ingredient prices and recipes once. Prodexa calculates the ingredient cost per finished unit automatically.

Packaging costs included

Add your packaging items — jars, labels, boxes, tissue — to the product definition. Their cost is included in every calculation.

Fixed costs and overheads

Spread your monthly workshop costs, equipment and insurance across your products so the true cost per unit is always visible.

Selling price and margin

Set a target margin and Prodexa shows the recommended selling price. Or enter a price and see the margin immediately.

Automatic price updates

When an ingredient price changes, update it once and every product recipe that uses it recalculates — no manual rework.

Your recipes and costs stay on your own Windows PC. Nothing is stored on anyone else’s server. No monthly subscription.
