Production Time & Cycle Time Calculator – Minutes per Item, Order Hours & Labor
Time Every Step of Your Production — Minutes per Item, Order Hours, and Labor Cost
A production time and cycle time calculator for handmade sellers. Enter up to eight steps with minutes per run and items per run, your batch size, setup time, and breaks to get the cycle time per item, items per hour, total hours and work days for the order, hands-on hours, labor cost, and your slowest step.
What This Spreadsheet Calculates
- Minutes per item for each step
- Cycle time per item
- Hands-on minutes per item
- Setup minutes per item
- Total minutes per item with breaks
- Items per hour
- Order hours and work days
- Labor cost and slowest step
Most makers guess how long an item takes and leave out setup, changeovers, and breaks. That is how a 2 day order turns into 4.
Time the work, then price it.
