💰 Arrow Cost Per Dozen Calculator
Enter your total cost for a dozen arrows (shafts, points, fletching, nocks, and labor) to see the cost per individual arrow.
How the per-arrow figure is worked out
There is one division behind the result, and the divisor is fixed because arrows are sold and built by the dozen:
cost per arrow = total cost for the dozen ÷ 12The box opens at $72, which is $6.00 an arrow. Price a real build instead — $40 of bare shafts, $24 of inserts and field points, $9 of nocks, $12 of vanes and $15 of shop labour — and the dozen comes to $100, or $8.33 each. Both figures are rounded to two decimals for display, so twelve arrows at $8.33 read back as $99.96 rather than $100.
What belongs in the total
- Everything you actually pay for. Shafts, inserts, points, nocks, vanes or feathers, glue and wrap, plus fletching labour if a shop builds them for you. Leave a component out and the per-arrow cost is understated by exactly one twelfth of it.
- Scale other pack sizes first. A half dozen at $50 is a $100 dozen; a single arrow quoted at $11 is a $132 dozen. Type the scaled figure, not the shelf price.
- Price the build, not the season. Broadheads you screw in and out of the same shafts belong to a separate line; including them turns a target-arrow cost into a hunting-arrow cost.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a dozen arrows cost?
It depends entirely on the shaft and the components you fit, so use a real quote rather than an average. The arithmetic is the same either way: a $72 dozen is $6.00 an arrow and a $180 dozen is $15.00.
Why is it fixed at twelve instead of asking how many arrows I bought?
Shafts, nocks and vanes are almost always packaged in dozens, so the dozen is the price you are quoted. For any other quantity, scale up to a dozen before you type — multiply a half-dozen price by 2, or a single-arrow price by 12.
Should I include the broadhead in the total?
Only if you want the cost of a complete hunting arrow. The tool has no component breakdown; it divides whatever total you give it, so what you include decides what the answer means.
