The Calculation Method Of Mold Making Price

Publish Time: 03/03 2021 Author: Site Editor Visit: 17438

1. Empirical Calculation Method

Mold price = material cost + design fee + processing fee and profit + value-added tax + mold trial fee + packaging and transportation fee
The ratios are usually:
Material cost: materials and standard parts account for 15%-30% of the total cost of the mold;
Processing fee and profit: 30%-50%;
Design fee: 10%-15% of the total mold cost;
Trial mold: large and medium-sized molds can be controlled within 3%, and precision molds can be controlled within 5%;
Packing and transportation fee: can be calculated according to actual or 3%;
VAT: 17%

2. Material Coefficient Method

According to the mold size and material price, the mold material cost can be calculated.

Mold price=(6~10)*material cost

Forging die, plastic die=6*material cost

Die casting mold=10*material cost

Mould quotation estimate

1. First of all, it depends on the customer's requirements, because the requirements determine the choice of materials and heat treatment process.
2. Choose the material and draw out a rough mold plan, from which calculate the weight of the mold (calculate the price of the mold core material and the mold base material) and the cost of heat treatment. (Both are raw weight)
3. Processing cost. According to the complexity of the mold core, the processing cost and the price of the mold core material are generally 1.5~3:1, and the processing cost of the mold base is generally 1:1.
4. The risk cost is 10% of the above total price.
5. Tax
6. The design cost is 10% of the total price of the mold.

Mould quotation strategy and settlement method

The quotation and settlement of the mold is the continuation and result after the evaluation of the mold. From the evaluation of the mold to the quotation of the mold, it is only the first step, and the ultimate goal of the mold is to settle the mold after the mold is manufactured and delivered, and form the final mold settlement price. In this process, people always hope that mold valuation = mold price = mold settlement price. In actual operation, these four prices are not completely equal, and fluctuation error values may occur. This is the issue to be discussed below. ?

After the mold is appraised, it needs to be processed appropriately and compiled into a mold quotation, which is the basis for signing the mold processing contract. Through repeated negotiations and discussions, a mold price recognized by both parties was finally formed and a contract was signed. Only then can the mold processing be officially started.

Mold valuation and quotation, quotation and mold price?

After the mold is evaluated, it cannot be used as a quotation immediately. Generally speaking, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis based on market conditions, customer psychology, competitors, status and other factors, to properly organize the valuation, and make the first quotation with an increase of 10-30% on the basis of the valuation. After bargaining, the quotation can be lowered according to the actual situation. However, when the negotiated quotation of the mold is less than 10% of the estimated price, it is necessary to re-improve and refine the estimation of the mold. Under the condition of guaranteeing the profit, the mold processing contract is signed, and the mold price is finally determined. The price of the mold is the price approved by both parties and signed in the contract.

The mold price formed at this time may be higher or lower than the estimated price. When the negotiated mold price is lower than the guaranteed cost of the mold, the mold requirements, conditions, plans, etc. need to be revised to reduce some requirements in order to reduce the mold cost. After re-estimation, the mold price contract can be signed. It should be pointed out that molds are specialized products with high technological content and should not be used at low prices or even at a loss to cater to customers. Instead, it should be high-quality at a better price, and the quality, precision, and life of the mold should be the first priority, and the price of the mold should not be overemphasized, otherwise it will easily cause misleading actions. It is more difficult to guarantee the quality, precision and life of the mold when it is pursued at a low price. Cheap is generally not what the mold industry does. However, when mold manufacturing and product development and production are in the same accounting unit or there is an economic interest relationship, in this case, the price of the mold should be quoted at its cost price.
