Paying myself between 5% and 15%
for the design and the time I put in it.

This shows us the True Cost.

Belgium VAT counts for 21 %: this makes the Wholesale Price
(price for shops / reseller to buy the clothes for selling them in their shop).

This price has to be multiplied by 2 or 2.1
(this is the minimum a shops asks & needs to survive).
This brings us to the Selling Price in shops, which i round up.
(When you buy an item in my shop I get a bigger %. In this case packaging, shipping, webshop costs & updating time, photoshoots and other costs in general are being covered too).
