Frequently Asked Questions
Should I include my own labor as a cost?
Yes — valuing your time helps you see if the market is truly profitable versus other uses of your time, like a part-time job.
What's a typical cost of goods percentage?
For produce it's often 20-40%, while prepared foods or crafts can range widely from 15% to 60% depending on materials and labor to produce.
How can I improve profit per market day?
Increasing average sale size (through bundling or upsells) and reducing setup/teardown time both help boost your effective hourly rate.
