This t-shirt pricing calculator is built for US businesses ordering 25 to 1,000 branded shirts for staff uniforms, events, and giveaways. It uses Arklavo's real production data, covering the four main decoration methods (screen print, DTG, DTF, and embroidery), real garment base costs for common blanks, and standard US volume discount tiers. Change the inputs on the left to see how quantity, method, and print locations affect your per-shirt cost. For a deeper look at the full cost landscape, see our guide to how much custom t-shirts cost.
