Marker Efficiency Calculator

Calculate fabric utilization, marker wastage, and estimated fabric savings for garment production.

1 Marker Details
Total length of the marker.
Usable fabric width covered by the marker.
Total garment pieces represented by this marker.
How it works: Marker area = marker length × marker width. Marker efficiency is calculated by dividing the estimated fabric area occupied by all garment patterns by the total marker area.
2 Pattern Area & Production
Combined area of all garment patterns inside this marker.
Total garments planned for production.
Used to estimate savings against your target.

Important: This calculator assumes that the entered pattern area is the combined area of every garment pattern in one marker. Marker wastage is calculated as 100% minus marker efficiency. Estimated savings compare the current marker with the target efficiency, assuming the same pattern area and production quantity. Actual cutting-room consumption may also depend on end loss, fabric defects, shrinkage, selvedges, spreading and cutting practices.
