What is your old price chart giving away?

Most shops quote off a chart built from what blanks cost the day the chart was made. Suppliers keep moving; the chart doesn't. Put in your numbers and see what the gap hands out — on one order, and over a year. No signup.

Your chart thinks this blank costs $11.01. It costs $12.00 today. Carried through your ×1.40 markup, every quote off that chart is $1.39 per piece lower than it should be.

The math: today's blank cost, deflated by your drift rate over the chart's age, is what your chart still believes. The difference rides through your garment markup on every piece you quote — so a $2 gap on a $25 hoodie at 100 pieces walks out the door as roughly $290 on that one order. Drag the blank cost up to hoodie territory and watch.
