How to Calculate Dyeing Cost in Textile Industry

The method of applying color to the fiber stock, yarn, or fabric is termed as dyeing. There may or may not be thorough penetration of the colorant into the yarns or fibers. Here, we present how to Calculate Dyeing Cost in the Textile Industry.

Methods of Dyeing in Textile:

There are nine types of dyeing methods in the textile industry. Those are listed in the following:

1. Bale Dyeing,
2. Cross Dyeing,
3. Random Dyeing,
4. Beam Dyeing,
5. Jig Dyeing,
6. Batik Dyeing,
7. Chain Dyeing,
8. Burl or speck Dyeing,
9. Piece Dyeing.

Dyeing Cost Calculation Formula in Wet Processing:

To find out the dyeing cost in the textile wet processing industry, the below formula has to follow:

Dyeing cost per kg,

         D.M+ D.L+ D.E+ OH

= ………………………………………

      Total dyeing production 

Where,

D.M = Direct materials cost,

D.L = Direct labor cost,

D.E = Direct expense cost,

OH = Overhead cost.

Elements of Dyeing Cost:

The cost elements involved in the textile dyeing process are as follows:

Direct materials cost (D.M) = Dyes and chemicals,

Direct labor cost (D.L) = Operators and helpers for definite job,

Direct expense cost (D.E) = Cost of re-dyeing, re-washing etc.

Overhead cost (OH) = Power, steam, rent, effluent treatment, transport, laboratory etc.

Key Factors of Dyeing Cost in Textile:

There are some key points or factors that directly affect textile dyeing costs. Those are presented in the following:

1. Special dyes and chemicals.
2. Types of dyeing- reactive, direct, vat, sulfur, etc.
3. Fabric types- delicate, blended, light or heavy fabric, etc.
4. Dyeing processing time.
5. Effluent treatment cost.
6. Types of dyeing machine– soft flow, winch dyeing machine,e etc.
7. Types of color: medium, light, dark.
8. Laboratory expenses.

Approximate Dyeing Cost in Bangladeshi Dyeing Factories:

Approximate cost examples of different levels of colors in the textile dyeing process are as follows:

SL No.	Parameters	Winch (Per kg)	Soft Flow (Per kg)
01	Bleaching or whitening	38 taka	50 taka
02	Light color	65-75 taka	75-100 taka
03	Medium color	75-90 taka	100-130 taka
04	Dark color	100-115 taka	130-150 taka
05	Washing	13 taka	13 – 20 taka

Estimation of Dyeing Cost in Textile Sector/ How to Calculate Dyeing Cost in Textile Industry

To know the dyeing cost calculation is very important for all the persons related with textile dyeing job. There are so many who still don’t know the actual method of dyeing cost calculation in wet processing industry. This article will be very useful for them.

Solution:

To calculate the dyeing cost in the textile sector, the following formula has to mbe aintained:

Dyeing cost per kg,

   Direct materials (D.M) + Direct labor (D.L) + Direct expense (D.E) + Overhead

= ………………………………………………………………………………………….…             ….. (1)

                                                 Total dyeing production 

Total Dyeing Production Calculation:

Total production
 = Fabric input
 = 400kg

Total Production Time Calculation:

Total production calculation,
= Process time
= 16hrs
= (16/8) shift
= 2 shift

Direct Material Cost (D.M.) Calculation:

Dye A cost = Amount of dye × Dye price = 5×Rs. 250 = Rs. 1250

Dye B cost = Amount of dye × Dye price = 3×Rs. 300 = Rs. 900

Dye C cost = Amount of dye × Dye price = 2×Rs. 400 = Rs. 800

Chemical A cost = Amount of chemical × Chemical price = 50×Rs. 5 = Rs. 250

Chemical B cost = Amount of chemical × Chemical price = 30×Rs. 50 = Rs. 1500

So,

Dyeing material cost stands at,

= Rs. 1250 + Rs. 900 + Rs. 800 + Rs. 250 + Rs. 1500

= Rs. 4700

Direct Labor Cost (D.L.) Calculation:

Operator wages,

= No. of labor × No. of shift × labor wage per shift

= 4×2×Rs. 200

= Rs. 1600

Direct Expense Cost (D.E) Calculation:

Direct expense = 0

Overhead Cost Calculation:

In the case of steam,

= {(Cost × 2 shifts)/ (30days × 3 shifts in a day)} = {(75000×2)/90} = Rs. 1667

In the case of transport,

= {(Cost × 2 shifts)/ (30days × 3 shifts in a day)} = {(20000×2)/90} = Rs. 445

In the case of power,

= {(Cost × 2 shifts)/ (30days × 3 shifts in a day)} = {(50000×2)/90} = Rs. 1112

In the case of salary,

= {(Cost × 2 shifts)/ (30days × 3 shifts in a day)} = {(100000×2)/90} = Rs. 2224

In case of other expenses,

= {(Cost × 2 shifts)/ (30days × 3 shifts in a day)} = {(120000×2)/90} = Rs. 2667

So, 

Total overheads,

= Rs. 1667 + Rs. 1112 + Rs. 445 + Rs. 2224 + Rs. 2667

= Rs. 8115

Now, from equation (1), we get,

Dyeing cost per kg,

= {(4700+ 1600+ 0+ 8115)/400}

= Rs. 36.00

After adding 20% profit, the dyeing rate stands at 

= {36/ (1-20%)}

= Rs. 45.00
