Your Member Portal Is Being Rebuilt
What’s coming is worth the wait. Here’s what you have access to right now.
After 30 years, NNEP is rebuilding from the ground up — and that includes this portal.
The new member portal is organized around the PRICE Framework and built as a working environment for your business, not a library of resources you’ll mean to get back to someday. Every tool inside is designed to be used on a real order, with your real numbers.
The new portal launches August 3, 2026. In the meantime, your current member access includes the tools below.
NNEP Pricing System – Start Here
Read this before you open any calculator. It explains the current situation, the framework, the tools, and the sequence. It takes about ten minutes to read. Reading this makes everything else move easier and faster.
Profit Assessment WorksheetÂ
The NNEP PRICE Profit Assessment Worksheet is a tool designed to be completed after an order has shipped to evaluate the accuracy of original price quotes. By comparing quoted figures to actual outcomes, users can identify variances to improve future pricing.
Real Labor WorksheetÂ
The NNEP Real Labor Worksheet is designed to help shop owners calculate their “Effective Labor Rate,” which represents the true hourly cost of running a business based on human time rather than machine time.

Overhead Rate WorksheetÂ
The NNEP Overhead Rate Worksheet is designed to help shop owners calculate their hourly overhead rate, which represents the fixed and recurring costs of running a shop regardless of machine activity. Identifying this rate is crucial for accurate pricing; skipping it can lead to understated production costs and lost margins.Key Concepts

Price Quoting WorksheetÂ
The NNEP PRICE Quoting Worksheet provides a framework for pricing orders based on five specific drivers rather than stitch counts. By calculating these drivers, shops can determine a “PRICE Floor”—the minimum quote necessary to cover all costs and meet profit targets.

Customer Pushback Response GuideÂ
This guide provides frameworks for managing customer pushback on pricing in the embroidery industry. The central tenet is to avoid immediate discounting, as this signals that original quotes were arbitrary rather than calculated.
