How do I calculate a target-margin price?
First calculate total cost. Then divide it by one minus your target margin as a decimal. A $100 cost at 30% margin suggests about $142.86, not $130.
What should labor include?
Include the time needed for planning, shopping, prep, baking, decorating, cleanup, communication, and delivery when those tasks are part of the order.
Does this decide the right market price?
No. It provides a cost-based floor and target price. Local demand, skill, complexity, urgency, and competitive position remain business decisions.
