Resin art is priced on premium epoxy, pigments and the long curing time that limits how much you can produce. Coaster sets often sell for $25–45 and larger wall or river pieces $100–500+. Resin is expensive by volume and unforgiving — bubbles and bad pours mean remakes — so price per piece from material volume plus labor, and account for the days a piece is tied up curing.
Quality epoxy is pricey per ounce, and large or deep pours use a lot. Calculate resin by volume for the piece, not a flat guess.
Pieces tie up molds and space for 24–72 hours. That throughput limit is a real cost that should lift your prices.
Bubbles, uneven cure and dust ruin pieces. Remakes consume more pricey resin, so build a waste allowance in.
A coaster and a river table differ enormously in resin and labor. Price by surface area or volume plus design complexity.

Coaster sets commonly run $25–45 and larger wall or river pieces $100–500+. Price from resin volume, pigments and labor, marked up 3–4×, and factor the days a piece spends curing. The calculator above models materials and time.
Epoxy resin is costly by volume, pigments add up, and long cure times of 24–72 hours limit how many pieces you can make at once. Both materials and throughput drive the price.
Estimate the resin volume a piece needs plus the labor to pour, layer and finish it, then mark up. A large river table uses many times the resin and hours of a coaster set.
Yes. Custom palettes, embedded objects and multi-layer pours add materials and time. Add a custom tier above your standard pieces rather than a single flat price.
Bubbles and bad cures happen and waste expensive resin. Build a waste percentage into your material cost so the successful pieces cover the occasional remake.
Many small business owners use the "3x material cost" rule or simply match competitor prices. The problem? This ignores your unique cost structure. Your rent might be higher, your waste rate different, or your labor costs vary by location. This calculator reveals your true break-even point and ensures sustainable pricing.
