Costing and margins

The cost of every product, and the margin that goes with it

BreadUp works out the cost of your recipes from the price per kilo of your ingredients, for each format you sell. You set a selling price or a margin, and you see the effect on the profitability of your range. When a supplier price changes, your costs update.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions bakers ask us most often.

Another question? Write to us

How do you calculate the cost of a loaf of bread?

Add up the cost of each ingredient (quantity multiplied by price per kilo), then relate it to the weight of the piece. BreadUp does this for every recipe and every format.

What is the difference between ingredient cost and full cost?

Ingredient cost only counts the ingredients. Full cost adds labour, energy and overheads. BreadUp works out the ingredient cost, the basis for your selling prices.

How do you set the selling price of a product?

Start from the ingredient cost, apply your target margin, then compare the price including VAT with your market. In BreadUp, you enter the price or the margin, and the other value is calculated.

Do my costs update when my suppliers change their prices?

Yes. The cost of your recipes follows the prices saved for your ingredients, including those imported from a supplier catalogue.

Is margin calculation included in both plans?

Yes. The cost and margin of every recipe are included in BreadUp One and BreadUp Plus. Supplier optimisation and the calculated yearly saving are part of the Plus plan.
