How to Calculate Juice Cost
The juice cost depends on the ingredients, labor, utilities, and packaging. For example, if making orange juice with four oranges at $0.25 each, the orange cost is $1. The labor cost includes employee wages. The produce should cost no more than $2.50 for juice selling at $10 per bottle.
Profit on Selling Juice
A juice business selling juice direct to consumer can expect about a 50% – 70% gross margin (profit before labor and overhead costs) if careful planning is done when developing the recipes.
