The Problem

The Hidden Cost of "Siguro" Pricing

Every day, thousands of food sellers price their products based on guesswork. "Siguro P50 profit naman." But when you actually track EVERYTHING — ingredients, packaging, gas, your time — the real profit is often MUCH lower than you think.

Forgetting to count packaging costs (boxes, ribbons, stickers)

Not including utilities (gas, electricity for oven/mixer)

Ignoring the value of your time and labor

Missing failed batches and waste in calculations

Using outdated ingredient prices in estimates

Real Example: Lisa's Brownie Pricing

What she THOUGHT: P25 profit per brownie What it ACTUALLY was: P10 profit She forgot to count: • Packaging (P12) • Gas/electricity (P8) • Her time (P15) Result: Working for almost nothing.

What Our Users Say

I've been selling cakes for 5 years. When I finally used iCost, I discovered I was only making P15 per cake — not P80 like I thought. Now I price properly and actually profit!
