If you're talking about just the cost of the ingredients then the cost of the finished product is usually anywhere between 3 and 5 times the cost of the ingredients used to make said product. The labor involved to make a particular item would determine just what the markup would be. You have to first determine the cost of your ingredients and then you have to figure out how many labor hours it would take to make that particular item and how much you would have to pay your workers. Then of course there's things like electricity and other utilities, rent, insurance, equipment, etc. Of course you wouldn't expect one item to pay for all that but it does need to pay a percentage of it. Then you also have to take into account that you may not sell everything you make. If you sell 90% of what you make then you're doing pretty good.
