Formula
Stitches = width × height × stitches per inch × stitches per inch.
Job price = items × (stitches ÷ 1,000 × your rate + hoop fee). The embroidery pricing calculator uses that rate. It does not look up a shop’s price list.

Stitch calculator and embroidery pricing calculator
This stitch calculator counts stitches in a rectangle from width, height, and stitches per inch. The embroidery calculator and embroidery pricing calculator then price that count at your rate per thousand stitches plus a hoop fee. The density is a planning fill, not a digitized file.

Planning estimate from the numbers you enter. Coverage, density, waste and price are assumptions, not a supplier quote or an engineering specification.
How it works
Stitches equal area times density in both directions.
A 4 inch by 4 inch design at 10 stitches per inch is 4 × 4 × 10 × 10, or 1,600 stitches. Twelve items at $1.50 per thousand stitches are $28.80 of stitch charge. A $3 hoop fee on each item is $36. The job is $64.80, or $5.40 each. Satin, fill, and a running stitch do not share a density. A digitized file’s stitch count beats this rectangle. Use the rectangle to price a job before the file exists, then replace the count when the digitizer sends it. Prices are the ones you type.

Example
A 4 by 4 inch design at 10 stitches per inch, 12 items.
One design is 1,600 stitches. At $1.50 per thousand and a $3 hoop fee, the job is $64.80. The stitch calculator headline is the 1,600, and the price lines sit under it.
03
Tips
A logo with open space is not a solid rectangle.
If only half the box is stitched, cut the count in half or shrink the width and height to the stitched area. Underlay and trims add stitches a simple fill misses. Raise the density when you know the file runs heavy.

Equipment
The embroidery machine is the purchase.
Dengaro arranges equipment financing for an embroidery machine. Stitch price is not sent as a loan amount.
Important questions
Know what to expect.
Is 10 stitches per inch a fill?+
It is a light planning density so the stitch calculator has a round example. A dense fill can be higher. Type the density your digitizer uses.
How is the embroidery pricing calculator different from the stitch count?+
The count is the design. The price is that count, times your rate per thousand, times the number of items, plus the hoop fee. Both are on this embroidery calculator.
Does the hoop fee include thread?+
Only if you put thread in that fee or in the rate per thousand. The form has no separate thread field.
Can I enter a known stitch count?+
Set width, height, and density so the product matches the file, or price from the file’s count outside this rectangle. The page builds the count from the three design fields.
