How to Use This Calculator

Enter your PCB dimensions (width and height in mm) and number of copper layers.
Set the order quantity — higher quantities significantly reduce cost per board.
Select board thickness (mm) and surface finish (HASL, ENIG, OSP, or hard gold).
Review cost per board, setup/tooling fee, and grand total for your order quantity.

How the result changes with Surface Finish (0-3)

Board Width (mm): PCB width in millimeters.
Board Height (mm): PCB height in millimeters.
Number of Layers: Copper layer count (1, 2, 4, 6... most hobby projects use 2).
Quantity: Number of boards to order.
Board Thickness (mm): FR4 thickness (standard 1.6mm is cheapest).
Surface Finish (0-3): 0=HASL, 1=Lead-Free HASL, 2=ENIG (gold), 3=OSP.

Cost Per Board ($): Estimated fabrication cost per board after quantity discounts.
Board Total ($): Total cost for all boards (before setup fee).
Setup/Tooling Fee ($): One-time tooling fee (free for 1-2 layer boards at most fabs).
Grand Total ($): Total including setup fee.
Board Area (cm²): Board surface area in square centimeters.
Cost Per sq in ($): Cost per square inch of board area.
Boards per 100x100 Panel: How many boards fit in a standard 100x100mm fabrication panel.
Quantity Discount (%): Volume discount applied based on order quantity.

Identify Input Parameters
4 parameters
Board Width (mm) = 50, Board Height (mm) = 50, Number of Layers = 2, Quantity = 5 = 6 input(s) provided
Calculate Cost Per Board
Cost Per Board = baseCostPerBoard * (1 - qtyDiscount)
2.5 = $2.5
Calculate Board Total
Board Total = discountedPerBoard * quantity
12.5 = $12.5
Calculate Setup/Tooling Fee
0 = $0
Calculate Grand Total
Grand Total = totalCost + setupFee
12.5 = $12.5
