Technical reference

Laser Cutting Cost Calculator basis and limits

This calculator provides a planning estimate for laser cutting cost calculator using the stated dimensions, material assumptions and operating inputs.

Confirm grade, applicable standard, tolerance, product condition and supplier documentation before making a final engineering or purchasing decision.

Important Use the result for quotation preparation and early planning; it does not replace a certified measurement, drawing review or supplier confirmation.

Calculation method

Formula and worked example

01

Laser Cutting Cost Calculator formula

Use the inputs and units shown in the calculator, then review the assumptions before using the estimate.

Cost = (cut length ÷ speed ÷ 60) × (machine rate + gas rate) + setup cost.
02

Worked example

A 6,000 mm cut at 4,000 mm/min with a combined hourly rate of 70 and setup cost 25 gives an estimated cost of 26.75.

(6,000 ÷ 4,000 ÷ 60) × 70 + 25 = 26.75
