21 free calculators and spreadsheets
Kitvert is 21 free calculators and Google Sheets templates for quilters, freelancers and handmade sellers. The calculators answer on the page as you type, and a spreadsheet costs only an email address.
The three buttons below are where most questions start. Everything else is on the full list of free tools.
Each table is what the tool shows for its sample inputs. Type the same numbers into the calculator, or open the sample data in the download, and you should land on the same figures.
How much fabric: a 60 by 72 inch throw
| Part | Yards |
|---|---|
| Blocks (120 of them) | 3.75 |
| Binding | 0.5 |
| Backing | 4 |
| Total to buy | 8.25 |
From 6 inch finished blocks, a quarter-inch seam and 40 inch usable-width cotton.
What to charge: working back from $80,000 a year
| Step | Number |
|---|---|
| Hours anyone pays for | 960 |
| Revenue to invoice | $113,334 |
| Your hourly floor | $119 |
48 working weeks, 20 billable hours a week, $5,000 of costs and a quarter put aside for tax.
What's low: the Stock tab, from the sample data in the download
| Product | On hand | Reorder at | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speckled mug | 4 | 5 | REORDER |
| Tall mug | 11 | 5 | OK |
The mug started at 24, sold 20, and the sheet flagged it the moment it crossed 5.
How it fits together
Every calculator is free and asks for nothing. Every spreadsheet on the free list is free too, sent to the email you give. A handful of bigger spreadsheets will cost a one-off payment, and none of them can be bought yet.
Free tools
Each card opens with the question people in that line of work ask first. The links under it are the other free tools for the same kind of work.
Enter the quilt size and the block size. The calculator gives yardage for blocks, borders, binding and backing, and shows the strip math under the answer, so a short cut at the fabric shop is something you catch before it happens.
Also free in this niche
Salary ÷ 2,080 underprices you, because nobody bills every hour they work. Start from the take-home you need, take out the unbilled time, add overhead and a tax set-aside, and you get an hourly floor, a recommended rate and a day rate, with the working shown if a client pushes back.
Also free in this niche
Log what you make and what sells. The sheet keeps the on-hand count, marks anything that has dropped to its reorder point, and works out profit per unit once platform fees and shipping come off.
Also free in this niche
All 21, grouped by who tends to use them. The invoice template sits in two columns because freelancers and sellers both send invoices.
Pick any link — they're all free. Or browse them grouped: all calculators and all free spreadsheets. How the numbers are checked, and where the fee and tax figures come from, is on the About page.
Rather build the inventory sheet yourself than download ours? The track-inventory-in-Google-Sheets guide builds the same system from scratch, formula by formula.
There's no trial that turns into a bill. The calculators stay free, the spreadsheets cost an email address so the file has somewhere to go, and the paid kits, once they open, are a single payment with nothing recurring.
The calculators answer in your browser, and each template page shows the tabs and columns in the file before you ask for it.
Want a spreadsheet to keep? Leave an email and it arrives in one message, as an .xlsx that opens in Google Sheets or Excel.
If a free sheet stops being enough, the Seller Back-Office Kit and the quilting pricing kits go further. They're paid once, with no subscription.
This part of the site is for a different reader: someone who sells software or digital products and already runs n8n and Notion. If you quilt, freelance or sell handmade goods, everything you need is further up the page.
After you ship, Mondays fill with waitlist follow-up, sale logging, support triage, testimonial asks and changelog notes. Those jobs live under Kits as free workflows (with Notion templates). The $99 Stack connects all five in one workspace if you want the assembled system.
Yes. The calculators run in your browser and don't ask for anything. The spreadsheets cost an email address, because that's how we send you the file. A few paid spreadsheets are planned: the $29 Seller Back-Office Kit, and the longarm rate planner and commission quote kit at $35 each, or $49 together as the Quilter who sells pack. Until checkout opens, each of those pages has a list you can join for one email when it does. Software sellers on n8n and Notion also have the $99 Indie Operator Stack under Kits.
No. Type your numbers and the answer is on the page. If you want something to print and pin by the cutting mat, the free quilt cutting-plan worksheet goes with the yardage and binding calculators. Other calculator pages will say when they get a printable sheet of their own.
Yes. It's an .xlsx file using only formulas that Google Sheets and Excel share, so you can import it into Google Sheets or open it in Excel directly.
A $29 spreadsheet kit built around the free inventory sheet: product costing, a simple income and expense ledger and an invoice tab, all reading from one product list. The file is built, but checkout hasn't opened. Join the list on the Back-Office page and you'll get one email when it can be bought. Joining costs nothing.
Usually no. Kits is for people who sell software or digital products and already run n8n and Notion. Quilters, freelancers and handmade sellers should stay with the calculators and spreadsheets on this page. The one exception is the freelance rate card pack, a plain spreadsheet that happens to live under Kits.
Fabric yardage, a freelance rate, or what's left on the shelf. Each calculator answers on the page while you type.
