Stock cost is purchased volume × density × delivered price per pound. A one-inch-diameter round blank for a two-inch-long part needs 2.225 inches when the example adds 0.125 inch cutoff and 0.100 inch facing. Select the stock form and enter your supplier’s delivered price; the two price presets are budgeting examples.

Stock weight and purchased cost
Round/tube use OD and ID; hex uses across flats; square uses side; flat/plate use width × thickness. All forms use finished length plus allowances. 6061 density and $9.50/lb are editable catalog examples, not a current supplier quote. No scrap credit or minimum purchase is assumed.
| Item | Result |
|---|---|
| Purchased length | 2.23 in |
| Volume | 1.75 in³ |
| Weight | 0.17 lb |
| Stock cost | $1.62 |
Match the cross section to the purchase order
Round uses diameter; hex uses the distance across flats, not across corners. Square uses its side length. Flat and plate use width and thickness. Round tube subtracts the inside circle from the outside circle and rejects an inside diameter equal to or greater than the outside. Every dimension is in inches and density is in grams per cubic centimeter; the result converts that purchased volume to pounds before applying dollars per pound. Ignore unused dimensions for the selected form.
Allocate the length you cannot ship
Facing allowance is the total stock removed from both ends. Cutoff is the actual consumed width per blank or part, including the process convention your shop uses for the last piece. Chuck loss should be allocated across the usable parts from the bar, rather than charging the full remnant to every part. This calculator accepts an already allocated loss; use the parts-per-bar tool when you need to work out the integer yield and remnant first. A quoted length that barely produces the finished size leaves no room for cleanup.
Use a current delivered stock quote
For a dated supplier cross-check, MSP Metals lists one-inch 6061-T6 round at $0.80 per inch and 0.936 pound per foot: $0.80 × 12 ÷ 0.936 = $10.26 per pound before freight, tax and optional certification, checked October 30, 2026. That is one retail listing, not a volume-buy benchmark. The 6061 input starts with the product catalog’s $9.50 per pound example and density 2.7; neither price preset is a current supplier offer. Replace price with the actual grade, temper, form, quantity and certification quote. Add minimum buys, cut fees and freight consistently. A plate drop that remains reusable may have value, but this model gives no automatic scrap credit. It also does not charge an entire mill length when only one blank is needed; make that purchasing decision separately before sending the estimate.
