Mold Breakeven
Calculator
Determine the breakeven point for your tooling investment and compare your cost savings at different volumes.
Mold Breakeven Calculator
Compare your current process cost against injection molding to determine the breakeven point.
All values are estimates. Use this as an early planning tool, not a final quote.
Breakeven Summary
How It Works
Breakeven units = Tooling Cost ÷ (Current Unit Cost − Molded Unit Cost)

How to use the mold breakeven calculator
Enter the tooling investment, your current unit cost, the expected molded unit cost, and the annual volume. The estimate shows the approximate unit volume at which the lower per-unit molding cost offsets the tooling investment.
What the estimate does not include
Use the result for early planning. Final economics may also depend on cavities, cycle time, material, scrap, engineering changes, maintenance, freight, duties, quality costs, and the supplier's commercial terms.
