About MakerRatio
MakerRatio was founded in 2026 with a simple mission: **to eliminate the "Guesswork Tax" for crafters, makers, and handmade business owners.**
Whether you are casting custom epoxy resin coasters, pouring natural soy wax candles, or creating architectural Jesmonite homewares, material cost is often your largest overhead. An underfilled mold box leads to ruined projects, while an overfill results in wasted supplies.
Our Philosophy: Precision is Profit
Most simple calculators ignore **specific gravity**. For instance, liquid epoxy resin is 13% denser than water, whereas melted wax is 14% lighter. Calculating by volume alone leads to measurements that are incorrect. Our math engines utilize exact chemical density values and brand-specific parameters to give you absolute precision.
Furthermore, we connect the dots between your workshop and your storefront. Our **Etsy Pricing & Landed Cost Tool** integrates wholesale cost, shipping surcharges, packaging overhead, and direct marketplace transaction fees so you can establish sustainable margins for your business.
