First time using this calculator?
Replace the example values with figures from your supplier sheet or measurements. Choose the unit beside each value. Results update as you type; fix any highlighted field before using the result.
GSM means grams per square metre. Net weight excludes the core and other packaging. MOQ means the minimum order quantity. An optional field can stay blank unless the result you need depends on it.
Prices keep the selected currency; changing its label does not convert an exchange rate. Save or export the result after checking your inputs.
Help with matrix waste in period
Use a measured or supplier-confirmed percentage where possible. Check whether it applies to gross input or finished output; the formula below shows the basis used here.
Help with liner waste in period
Use a measured or supplier-confirmed percentage where possible. Check whether it applies to gross input or finished output; the formula below shows the basis used here.
Label only; no currency conversion.
Waste collection and treatment total
Period cost = (Matrix kg + Liner kg) × Treatment rate + Fixed charges
matrix = 3.4; liner = 13.2; rate = 0.2; fixed = 25 → Waste collection and treatment total = 28.32 currencySaved calculations stay in this browser. No account or cloud backup is created.
