Costs & the bill of materials

The Costs page: component, cable and connector line-items priced from your current draft, and the downloadable BOM CSV.

Costs in the header prices up the design currently in your browser draft — it is free and works without an account. Prices are indicative, in AUD, to help you budget.

What it itemises

Components — every part you have placed, grouped by catalogue part with quantity, unit price and line total (blank where no price is known).

Cable — your wires grouped by gauge, with the number of runs and total length per gauge, taken from each wire's length field (it understands mm, cm and m).

Connectors — the purchased cable-end connectors your wiring implies: ring lugs sized from wire gauge and stud size, fork and spade terminals, bootlace ferrules, MC4 pairs, Anderson connectors and quick-connects, each with indicative unit prices. Bare, stud and screw connections that need no purchased part are excluded.

Download BOM (CSV) exports the whole list for a spreadsheet. Enter wire lengths in the editor as you go — runs without a length cannot be counted in the cable totals.
