CM (Cost of Making) Calculator

Cost of making per garment from SMV, operator hourly cost and line efficiency.

CM per piece

0.283USD

CM per dozen

3.4USD

Cost per SAM

0.0333USD

The formula

CM = SMV / 60 x hourly rate / efficiency. The same hourly-rate method the Intelactory costing engine uses.

Worked example

Garment SMV: 8.5 min, Operator cost per hour: 1.2 USD, Line efficiency: 60 %. Result: CM per piece = 0.283 USD; CM per dozen = 3.4 USD; Cost per SAM = 0.0333 USD.

Assumptions

  • Direct labor only; factory overhead is a separate FOB line.

This calculator is the single-use version of what Intelactory runs across every style.

Costing sheets, line plans, dye recipes and packing lists that compute themselves from your real orders, with the numbers connected end to end.
