CNC Machining Cost & Quote Calculator
Enter quantity, machining minutes, blank cost, preparation time and your shop rate. Dimvo separates material, run time and preparation, then calculates total cost, target selling price and price per part.
Decimal points and decimal commas are accepted.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How is CNC machining cost calculated?
The quick model adds material cost, machine time at the shop rate and one-time preparation cost. Selling price is cost divided by one minus the target margin.
Are margin and markup the same?
No. Margin is profit divided by selling price; markup is profit divided by cost. Dimvo asks for target margin and shows the resulting price.
What should a formal machine-shop quote add?
Add tooling, scrap risk, inspection, programming, finishing, subcontract work, packaging, transport, VAT and commercial conditions where applicable.
