The example’s 60 minutes of programming, 75 minutes of machine setup and 20 minutes of first-piece inspection cost $238.75 per lot. That is $23.88 each at ten parts and $2.39 each at one hundred, before stock, run time or markup. A repeat release still needs setup and inspection.

First release and repeat setup allocation
Repeat assumes unchanged program, drawing and fixture. Physical setup is retained at your chosen percentage; first-piece inspection repeats in full. Inspection here is a shop check, not a full customer FAI package.
| Quantity | First release / part | Repeat release / part |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $238.75 | $120.00 |
| 10 | $23.88 | $12.00 |
| 100 | $2.39 | $1.20 |
| 1000 | $0.24 | $0.12 |
Separate work that repeats from work that does not
Programming is treated as first-release NRE in this model. The physical setup includes loading workholding, tools, offsets and making the machine ready to produce the specified revision. First-piece inspection is a shop check repeated on each release. A customer’s full first-article package is a separate scope item, especially when it requires reports, outside-process certificates or a witness. Do not hide it in a generic setup allowance that the next estimator may remove as already paid.
Decide what repeat savings you can defend
The default repeat retains 80% of physical setup and all first-piece inspection, while omitting initial programming. At the stated rates that is $120 per repeat lot, or $12 each at ten parts. The percentage is an editable assumption, not a learning-curve claim. Dedicated workholding left installed may save more; a new revision, moved machine or missing tool list may erase the savings. If you quote a blanket order, specify whether each release incurs another setup or whether the full run is manufactured and stocked at once.
Keep the quantity condition attached to the price
A buyer accepting a hundred-piece unit price and releasing ten parts has changed the setup recovery. Show minimum release quantities and any separate NRE charge on the offer. Recovering setup separately can make repeat prices clearer, but ensure that the customer-facing line and the unit price do not both recover the full same expense. This calculator stops at cost. Apply the shop’s approved pricing policy afterward and compare the estimated first-piece time with the actual setup record once the job ships.
