Spool Remaining Calculator
Weigh a used spool to estimate its remaining grams, length and value.

Build a transparent batch cost with material, electricity, equipment and labor.
Enter your inputs and calculate to see the result.
Batch costs and selling prices use your inputs. Currencies are not converted.
Electricity = watts ÷ 1000 × hours × price per kWh. Markup price = cost × (1 + markup percentage ÷ 100). Target margin price = cost ÷ (1 − margin percentage ÷ 100). Unit cost = batch cost ÷ quantity.
Enter totals for the complete batch. Equipment cost per hour represents your chosen depreciation and maintenance allowance. Markup and margin prices apply to the batch. Currency labels do not convert values. Taxes, shipping and failures must be included separately if relevant.

Weigh a used spool to estimate its remaining grams, length and value.

Convert mass, length and volume using your filament diameter and density.

Check one spool against a slicer estimate and an explicit safety allowance.
What should a maker count beyond the filament price?
How should machine time affect a job budget?
