Clean product data and clear costs for small apparel brands

Know what each garment costs. Fix the catalog before you import it.

Free calculators, a $39 spreadsheet toolkit and a fixed-price cleanup of your product CSV. For independent labels that keep their products in spreadsheets.

The calculators run in your browser. Nothing you type is sent or stored.

A worked example from the unit-cost estimator and size-split planner. Fictional inputs, real arithmetic.

What a cleanup does

The same facts, written one way

Four spellings of a size and two of a colour become the list you approved. Anything the file does not say stays flagged as missing.

Who this is for, and who it is not

A fit if you

  • run a small clothing label or shop with roughly 10 to 150 variants
  • keep product data in spreadsheets or a platform CSV export
  • want unit cost and margin before you commit to an order
  • can supply the product facts yourself (fabric, sizes, care)

Not a fit if you

  • need a sourcing agent, a factory, or manufacturing advice
  • need legal labeling, fit or grading, duty or tax answers
  • want ongoing store management or ad management
  • expect a guaranteed result such as rankings or sales

Two guides, with the numbers worked out

Markup vs margin for clothing brands

The difference, conversion tables, wholesale and break-even examples, all calculated with the same code as the free calculator.

Shopify product CSV checklist for apparel

What to check before importing variants, how to standardise sizes and colours, and how to test an import safely.

What these cannot do

The tools and templates handle arithmetic and organisation. They do not replace a pattern maker, a compliance adviser or a customs broker. Nothing here promises more sales, better rankings, error-free imports or factory acceptance. See the calculation notes and the service exclusions for the exact limits.
