Turn a vague “I think I made money” into one clear number
8 core capabilities covering the handmade seller's flow from entry to pricing
True profit engine
Net profit per order = price − materials − labor − platform fees, with every deduction itemized. Negative profit turns red and is flagged “this order lost money.”
SKU cost ledger
Each product keeps a running cost/profit ledger. The more you sell, the clearer its real margin gets — a private data flywheel that gets sharper with use.
Per-SKU time tracker
Start a timer for whichever SKU you're making; labor is converted at your hourly rate and rolled into that SKU's true cost — no more end-of-month guesswork.
Loss alerts
When a product keeps losing money, ProfitGuard proactively flags it in red so you know what's dragging you down. Alerts clear themselves once profit recovers.
Price suggestions
From your real materials + labor + platform fees, it computes a break-even price and a price for your target margin — pricing by the numbers, not by feel.
Platform fee presets
Built-in Etsy listing / transaction / processing fee structure auto-deducts on every order. Calibrate once when fees change and it applies everywhere.
Craft category templates
Pick “Candles” to prefill wax / fragrance / vessel / wick, or “Jewelry” for chain / clasp / beads / packaging — build your first SKU in 30 seconds.
Profit dashboard
One screen shows this month's true net profit (labor included), your best/worst SKUs, and where your hours went — the whole business at a glance.
Three steps, from entry to your true profit
Local-first pure-function math — it calculates even in airplane mode, no waiting on a connection
Create a SKU
Pick a craft template to prefill common materials — just tweak quantity and unit price — or start blank. A product's cost ledger is ready in 30 seconds.
Log an order / track time
Start the timer while you make it; labor is converted at your hourly rate. Enter the sale price and the live receipt card itemizes every deduction as you type.
See real profit & stay guarded
The dashboard sums this month's true net profit and best/worst SKUs; a persistently losing product triggers a red alert plus a data-backed price suggestion.

Frequently asked
1. What does ProfitGuard's “true net profit” include?
True net profit = price − material cost − labor cost (at your hourly rate) − platform fees (Etsy listing + transaction + processing). Labor is the cost handmade sellers most often forget, and the one we care about most — it turns “I think I made money” into what you actually keep after your own time.
2. Is ProfitGuard financial or investment advice?
No. ProfitGuard is a cost-accounting and bookkeeping tool for your own use. It provides cost accounting and pricing references and does not constitute financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. “Price suggestions” are derived only from the costs you enter, promise no returns, and you should consult a professional for business decisions.
3. Do you connect to my bank account or Etsy shop?
No. For privacy and compliance, ProfitGuard connects to no bank / payment account aggregation (no Plaid). All cost / price / labor data is entered by you (with optional self-initiated order CSV / screenshot import in the future). We never touch your financial accounts.
