Wafer & Unit Cost Calculator
Turn a wafer run into a per-chip cost. Combine dies-per-wafer and yield with packaging and test cost to get an estimated unit cost, then apply a target margin for a suggested price — useful for early ASIC budgeting and quotes.

Unit cost = wafer cost ÷ net die + packaging + test. Price applies the target margin as markup. Wafer and packaging/test costs are illustrative — confirm against a scoped TOMPW quote before you commit.

COST ANATOMY
Where the unit cost actually lands
Most early budgets forget packaging and test. This illustrative split shows why wafer $/die is only part of the story — and why the calculator below matters for a real quote.

The cost stack
- Wafer $/die = wafer cost ÷ net good dies (gross DPW × yield).
- Unit cost = wafer $/die + packaging + test.
- Price = unit cost × (1 + target margin).

These are industry reference ranges, not a quotation and not an offer.
- Every band on this page is deliberately wide. It is published so you can sanity-check whether a programme is realistic before you write to anyone — not so you can budget against it.
- Actual pricing moves with the season and with capacity. Foundry and OSAT utilisation changes month to month, and a window that is cheap in a soft quarter can be materially more expensive in a tight one.
- Mask, substrate, leadframe, gold, copper and tester-time costs all move independently of the node you chose.
