Laser calculators
Quick, free calculators for laser cutting and engraving — time, cost, kerf, fit and sheet yield. Want an exact price from your actual file? Use the file calculator — drop an SVG, DXF or PDF and it measures every path for you.
Price your file →- Nesting tool — fit more parts on a sheet
Drop an SVG, DXF or PDF and pack the real outlines, not their bounding boxes — commonly 10–30% more parts per sheet on non-rectangular shapes. Runs in your browser.
- Laser cutting time calculator
Cut length ÷ speed × passes + pierces → cycle time, batch time and parts/hour. 17 material presets.
- Laser cutting cost calculator
Machine time × rate + material + waste + setup + margin, floored at min order → price per part & batch.
- Laser engraving time calculator
Area, scan speed, line interval/DPI, coverage & passes → raster engraving time per piece and per batch.
- Laser hourly rate calculator
Depreciation + consumables + electricity + space + attended labour + margin → the true cost per machine hour and the rate to charge.
- Laser ROI & payback calculator
Machine price, running costs, your rate and billable hours → payback time in months, monthly profit and the break-even hours you have to hit.
- Fiber marking cost calculator (per part)
Fiber, MOPA, galvo and UV marking is sold per part, not per metre → cycle time, batch setup amortisation, price per part, and whether handling is eating the job.
- Laser product price calculator
Machine minutes, blank, handling, packaging, marketplace fees & margin → suggested retail, profit per piece and break-even.
- Laser kerf & tolerance calculator
Nominal size + kerf + fit clearance → the exact dimension to draw for outer edges and for holes/slots.
- Sheet yield & parts-per-sheet calculator
Sheet & part size + gap + margin → parts per sheet (both orientations), sheets needed, cost per part.
