How to Calculate
Garments Costing for Woven Bottom?
Introduction:
A garments business is totally stands on order profit. An order
profit can be achieved through a proper costing. A proper costing can be done
by using a proper garments costing method. So, ultimately, garments costing
method is the heart of readymade garments business. To make an accurate costing of an order, today I
will discuss about the method of garments costing for woven bottom.
Method of Garments Costing for Woven Bottom
(Factory Costing):
Before starting of a woven bottom costing, a woven garments merchandiser should confirm the following matters:
·
Fabric Cost,
·
Printing Cost,
·
Commercial Cost,
·
Others Cost.
Important tips***
·
The very next duty of
a woven garments merchandiser is to determine the fabric consumption and costing.
·
After fabric
consumption and costing, all the others necessary cost should be added with
fabric cost to achieve total cost of a garment.
To clear all the confusion about the above discussion, now I will
present an example for woven bottom costing in the below.
Example:
Suppose,
The Buyer “Metro-Tex” forwards a “Woven Denim Bottom” item order
to you with the following specification.
Follow the below measurement chart.

Now, determine the garments costing (on FOB) for the above order.
Solution:
Fabric width – 58”
(Here, the given fabric width is 58”, during sewing, we cannot
use the edge of a fabric. So, all time we must exclude 1” from the given fabric
width. So, now the fabric width is 58-1 = 57”)
Wastage – 10%
Let,
1. Fabric Cost per yds- $3.70
2. Printing Cost per dozen- $1.40
3. Embroidery Cost per dozen- $3.80
4. Accessories Cost per dozen- $1.70
5. Washing Cost per pcs- $2.00 so, washing cost
per dozen is – ($2.00 × 12) = $24.00
Now, we have to calculate the fabric consumption for the above
order.
1. Fabric consumption for the Body Parts:
Here, we will apply the following formula (Per dozen),
= (Body Length + Allowance × 1/2 Thigh width + Allowance × No.
of Parts × 12) / (Fabric width × 36) (In yds.)
= (48 × 22 × 4 × 12) / (57 × 36) (In yds.)
= 24.70yds per dozen………………………………………………… (A)
= 24.70yds per dozen………………………………………………… (A)
So, fabrics needed for the body parts is 24.70yds per dozen.
Note: Body Length = [(Front Rise + Back Rise) / 2] + Inseam Length
2. Fabric consumption for the Back Pocket (2pcs):
Here, we will apply the following formula (Per dozen),
= (Back Pocket Length + Allowance × Back Pocket width +
Allowance × No. of Parts × No. of Pocket × 12) / (Fabric width × 36) (In yds.)
= (9 × 8 × 2 × 2 × 12) / (57 × 36) (In yds.)
= 1.68yds per dozen……………………………………………………………….. (B)
= 1.68yds per dozen……………………………………………………………….. (B)
So, fabrics needed for the back pocket is 1.68yds per dozen.
3. Fabric consumption for the Pocket Bag (2pcs):
Here, we will apply the following formula (Per dozen),
= (Pocket Bag Length + Allowance × Pocket Bag width + Allowance
× No. of Parts × No. of Pocket × 12) / (Fabric width × 36) (In yds.)
= (9 × 8 × 4 × 2 × 12) / (57 × 36) (In yds.)
= 3.37yds per dozen……………………………………………… (C)
= 3.37yds per dozen……………………………………………… (C)
So, fabrics needed for the pocket bag is 3.37yds per dozen.
4. Fabric consumption for the Belt Loop (5pcs):
Here, we will apply the following formula (Per dozen),
= (Belt Loop Length + Allowance × Belt Loop width + Allowance ×
No. of Parts × No. of Belt Loop × 12) / (Fabric width × 36) (In yds.)
= (2 × 1 × 2 × 5 × 12) / (57 × 36) (In yds.)
= 0.12yds per dozen……………………………………………. (D)
= 0.12yds per dozen……………………………………………. (D)
So, fabrics needed for the belt loop is 0.12yds per dozen.
Now,
By adding the equation B, C, D and E we can achieve the total
fabrics consumption for the above order (per dozen)-
= (A +B +C + D) yds. Per dozen
= (24.70 + 1.68 + 3.37 + 0.12) yds. per dozen.
= 29.87yds per dozen.
= (24.70 + 1.68 + 3.37 + 0.12) yds. per dozen.
= 29.87yds per dozen.
So, total fabric consumption for the above order is 29.87yds per
dozen.
As, fabric cost per yds is $3.70 then, total fabric cost per
dozen is (29.87yds × $3.70) = $110.52
Now,
By adding all the following costs with total fabric cost, we
will get the total FOB cost of garments per dozen.
Fabric cost per dozen ………………………… $110.52 ……………………. (E)
Printing Cost per dozen ………………………$1.40 ……………….…...…… (F)
Embroidery Cost per dozen ………………… $3.80 …………………………. (G)
Accessories Cost per dozen …………………..$1.70 …………….…………… (H)
Washing cost per dozen ……………………… $24.00………………………… (I)
Cost of making (CM)…………………………… $5.00 …………..…………….. (J)
Commercial cost ………………………….……. $0.60 ………………………….. (K)
Others cost ………………………………….……. $0.20 ………………………….. (L)
Printing Cost per dozen ………………………$1.40 ……………….…...…… (F)
Embroidery Cost per dozen ………………… $3.80 …………………………. (G)
Accessories Cost per dozen …………………..$1.70 …………….…………… (H)
Washing cost per dozen ……………………… $24.00………………………… (I)
Cost of making (CM)…………………………… $5.00 …………..…………….. (J)
Commercial cost ………………………….……. $0.60 ………………………….. (K)
Others cost ………………………………….……. $0.20 ………………………….. (L)
So,
Total FOB cost per dozen = (G +H + I + J + K + L)
= $ (110.52 + 1.40 + 3.80 + 1.70 + 24.00 + 5.00 + 0.60 + 0.20)
= $147.22 per dozen.
= $ (110.52 + 1.40 + 3.80 + 1.70 + 24.00 + 5.00 + 0.60 + 0.20)
= $147.22 per dozen.
In case of factory, we received the order from a buying hose
(Here, we got the order from Metro-Tex Buying House), so we have to pay
7%commission to them for that order.
So, in this situation, total FOB cost per dozen stands at-
= $147.22 per dozen + 7% commission
= $157.53 per dozen.
= $147.22 per dozen + 7% commission
= $157.53 per dozen.
In factory costing, profit% for the factory (here-10%) should be
added with total FOB cost per dozen.
So,
Total FOB cost per dozen with profit% stands at-
=$157.53 + 10% profit
= $173.28
=$157.53 + 10% profit
= $173.28
Now, total FOB cost per pcs is ($173.28 / 12) = $14.44
So, factory cost (FOB) per pcs garment is $14.44
