About PCB Cost Estimator:
This free PCB Cost Estimator helps calculate manufacturing costs for PCB production based on board specifications, material choices, and quantity requirements.
Cost Calculation Method:
- Base Cost = Board Area × Material Base Price
- Manufacturing Cost = Base Cost × Layer Multiplier × Finish Multiplier × Copper Multiplier
- Total Cost = Manufacturing Cost × Quantity × Quantity Discount
- Where:
- Board Area in square inches = (Length × Width) / 645.16
- Quantity Discount varies from 10% to 40% based on volume
- Layer Multiplier increases with layer count
Pricing Guidelines:
- Minimum order quantity: 5 pieces
- Standard lead time: 5-7 working days
- Rush orders incur 50-100% premium
- Volume discounts start at 10+ pieces
