Knit Garments Costing and Consumption Calculation Method

Knit Garments Costing (T-Shirt) and Consumption Calculation Method

Calculate the price of a round neck T-shirt from the given measurement chart and apparel specifications:

Solution:

We have to follow the below formula during fabric consumption for the apparel in the textile and apparel sector.

Apparel weight calculation,

[{T.L + S.L + (2× H.A) + (2 × S.A)} × (1/2 Chest + S.A)] × G.S.M × 2
= ………………………………………………………………………………… ………… (1)
10000

And,
Round neck collar weight calculation,

{(Neck round + S.A) × (Collar width + S.A) × G.S.M × 2}
= …………………………………………………………………………… ………….. (2)
10000

Where,
T.L stands for Total length,
S.A stands for Seam allowance,
H.A stands for Hem allowance,
S.L stands for Sleeve length.

Let,
Seam allowance =1cm,
Hem allowance = 2cm,

So,
From equation-01, we get,

{60+23+ (2×2) + (2×1)} × (50+1)] ×180×2
= ……………………………………………………………
10000

= 166.60gms
= 0.167kg

Again,
From equation-02, we get,

{(52+1) × (3+1) ×180×2}
= …………………………………………………..
10000

= 7.8gms
= 0.08kg

So,
L size apparel weight stands at,
= (0.167+0.08) kg
= 0.175kg

SL No.	Particulars	Amount
01	Yarn price per kg	Rs. 240.00
02	Knitting rate per kg	Rs. 8.00
03	Dyeing rate per kg	Rs. 70.00
04	Printing rate per kg	Rs. 0.00
05	Compacting rate per kg	Rs. 6.00
06	Heat setting rate per kg (Synthetic fabric)	Rs. 0.00
07	Total	Rs. 324.00
08	Process loss (8-10%) (+)	Rs. 32.40 (+)
09	Fabric cost per kg	Rs. 356.00

Fabric cost per apparel,
= (Apparel weight × Fabric cost per kg)
= (0.175 × Rs. 356.40)
= Rs. 62.37

The cost of the apparel is calculated as follows:
