Batch Chemical Cost Calculator
Chemical cost of a dye batch and its cost per kg of fabric, from quantities and rates.
Batch chemical cost
104.28USD
Cost per kg fabric
0.348USD
The formula
Batch cost = sum of quantity x rate per chemical group; per kg = batch cost / fabric kg.
Worked example
Lot fabric weight: 300 kg, Dyestuff: 5.4 kg, Dyestuff rate: 12 USD/kg, Salt: 96 kg, Salt rate: 0.08 USD/kg, Soda ash: 48 kg, Soda rate: 0.35 USD/kg, Auxiliaries: 6 kg, Auxiliaries rate: 2.5 USD/kg. Result: Batch chemical cost = 104.28 USD; Cost per kg fabric = 0.348 USD.
Assumptions
- Water, steam and effluent treatment are utility costs, not in this total.

Intelactory links each dye batch to its recipe, chemical lots and the fabric rolls it produced, so a shade problem traces back in one step.
