With a sincere interest in apparel, enough startup capital and an acute business sense, a fashion-forward entrepreneur has little in the way to stop her from taking the big first step in owning and operating a retail clothing business. As in any business, retail clothes companies are concerned with the bottom line: profits. With many, detailed financial calculations necessary to determine how much profit a company earns, one of the most important is the profit margin.

How Much Money Can You Make Selling T Shirts?

It’s the golden question isn’t it? You like the idea of selling apparel, t shirts and sportswear for many reasons. It’s a creative way to make money, it’s fun, it provides you some independence and you can get started on a small budget. But how much money is in it? How much does it cost to make a shirt? What if it’s part time?

How much money can you make with your t shirt business?

Let’s break it down to how much it costs to make a garment, and how much you can sell it for.

What does it cost to make a shirt?

There are going to be 3 major costs:

Blanks

Supplies

Labor

Blanks

By blanks we are talking about the t shirt, sport jersey, tank top, hat or whatever the apparel is you are going to decorate. A standard blank t shirt will usually start at around $1 each and go up to $4. These are going to be cotton, good quality shirts. The price difference will vary on manufacturer, brand, color and cut. So a plain white t shirt might only be $1, where the same shirt in navy blue might be $2. That same shirt in moisture wick sport material might be $4. That is essentially your range. Now you can go even higher than that with specialty brands and cuts, depending on what you want to make. A blank Nike brand is going to cost more than a generic.

Supplies

This is what you are going to put on the garment, the actual material that will create the letters, numbers and logos. Using an example opaque vinyl material, the cost is going to be roughly $11 for a yard of material. If a logo is 5″ x”5 (25 square inches) than a 15″x36″ (540 square inches) piece could hold roughly 20 of those designs. $11 in vinyl / 20 designs = $0.55 per design.

Labor

You have to pay someone to do the work, either yourself or an employee. So we can talk about how long it takes to make a design. We performed a case study on left chest logos. 2 people were able to create 36 shirts in an hour. That includes running the material through the machine, weeding the vinyl, pressing the shirts and applying the transfer to the garment. This cost isn’t going to be a single number, it depends. If you have 2 employees that you pay $10 per hour. That would be $20 in employee cost. That comes out to about $0.55 per shirt in employee costs.

So adding this up we have about $3 going into a shirt if we have a shirt that is around $2, 50 cents in supplies and 50 cents in labor.

Now remember, that is all going to vary based on things like:

What is the size of the design?

Do you have employees?

What type of shirt is used?

Multiple colors vs single color?
