NOTE

This free calculator is intended for educational use only. While I have taken reasonable care to ensure that this calculator works correctly, no warranty is implied or given for the 'free' results generated.

I will add a metric version over the next few weeks.

Note there are two work sheets. The calculator shows the outputs of the calculations derived from the costs inputted. The cost inputs work sheet also enables the desired profit to be added.
