AISLER is simple manufacturing for your electronics project. We believe pricing should be simple and transparent, too. No hidden fees, just one fixed Job Fee and one variable fee. That’s it. If you just want to briefly grab your calculator, we’ve listed all pricing formulas here.
Please note: For simplicity, pricing formulas described here are net-price formulas. Please add respective attributable VAT where required (i.e. if you are a consumer). The formulas described here do not conclude an official offer, but are for informational purposes only.
Why we charge a Job Fee?
Every job your purchase comes with a fixed Job Fee. That fee varies depending on the product or service you order. It pays for the order’s overhead, which is:
- Selecting the best affordable local manufacturing partner that fits your project’s requirements
- Providing all required documents for the selected partner (which can be more complicated depending on the technology used)
- Controlling the quality of your job after it has been manufactured
- Shipping it to your location on time
- Ensuring the all accounting departments are happy
- Providing you with best-in-class support
Why we charge an area-usage or handling Fee
The variable fee allows us to provide you with a great quality circuit board, stencil or parts package, which includes:
- Selecting the right material, and choosing the most affordable distributors
- Ensure that only high-quality machines are being used
- Pay the manufacturing operators a fair salary
- Ensure all processes are environmentally friendly to the highest standards
Beautiful Boards
PCB Price = Job Fee + Area x Area-usage Fee x Quantity
Minimum order quantity is always 3, you can order any Beautiful Board in sets of 3.
| Service | Job Fee | Area-usage Fee |
|---|---|---|
2 Layer 1.6mm HASL Budget  |
€ 12.00 | € 0.067 per cm2 |
2 Layer 1.6mm HASL Blitz  |
€ 22.00 | € 0.129 per cm2 |
| 2 Layer 1.6mm ENIG Budget |
€ 12.00 | € 0.097 per cm2 |
| 2 Layer 1.6mm ENIG Blitz |
€ 22.00 | € 0.17 per cm2 |
| 4 Layer 1.6mm ENIG Budget |
€ 14.00 | € 0.13 per cm2 |
| 4 Layer 1.6mm ENIG Blitz |
€ 22.0 | € 0.347 per cm2 |
| 4 Layer 0.8mm ENIG Budget |
€ 12.00 | € 0.156 per cm2 |
| 4 Layer 0.8mm ENIG Blitz |
€60.00 | € 0.097 per cm2 |
Example:
2-Layer 1.6mm HASL Budget -Service with a PCB that is 7.0 cm x 5.0 cm:
Price = 12.00 € + 35 cm2 x 0.051 €/cm2 x 3 = € 17.35
Prototype Stencil
Stencil Price = Job Fee + Area x Area-usage Fee x Factordouble-sided
You can either order one side or two sides. This depends on whether you have two paste layers or only one. We’ll automatically adapt the factor.
| Service | Job Fee | Area-usage Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Prototype Stencil | € 5.00 | € 0.095 per cm2 |
Example:
One-Side Stencil for a PCB that is 7.0 cm x 5.0 cm:
Price = 5.00 € + 35 cm2 x 0.095 €/cm2 x 1 = € 8.33
Amazing Assembly
Assembly Price = Beautiful Boards + Electronic Components + Assembly Fee
Obviously, a significant portion of assemblies are the components to be soldered to your project. For your convenience, we will purchase all assigned and not excluded parts of your BOM and source them for the assembly process. We will find the best prices at our distributor partners and offer the best deal so you do not have to worry about it. All components that might not be needed during the assembly process will be sent to you with the finished assembly.
Making assembly pricing easy to understand is a bit more complicated. Our Checkout will include all components required (hence Beautiful Boards and all electronic components) plus the Assembly fee explained below:
Our PCB assembly pricing is based on the different tasks required for assembly. Each task represents a concrete operation required to assemble your printed circuit boards. The total assembly price is calculated from the exact set of tasks your project needs, scaled by quantity.
This approach ensures transparent, fair pricing that reflects real manufacturing effort and adapts efficiently from prototypes to series production.
How the pricing works
For every order, we identify all required assembly tasks and calculate the price as:
Total Assembly Price = Sum of (Task Quantity × Task Unit Price)
Tasks fall into three main categories:
- Setup tasks
Required to prepare machines, panels, or components before production starts. - Per‑panel tasks
Operations repeated for each panel, such as solder paste printing, reflow, and packaging. - Per‑component tasks
Activities that scale with the number of placed or handled components, such as placement, inspection, and component check‑in.
Only tasks that are actually required for your project are charged.
How to reduce assembly cost
You can actively influence pricing through design and order choices:
- Increase production quantity
Setup tasks are distributed across more boards, reducing cost per PCB. - Minimize unique components
Fewer different part numbers reduce component setup and check‑in tasks. - Design for automated assembly
Prefer machine‑placeable packages and reduce manual soldering where possible. - Avoid unnecessary complexity
Simplified BOMs and consistent component usage lower handling and inspection effort.
Please Note: If you want to supply components, we charge a Customer Supplied Component fee of € 15 per customer suppied component assigned part.
Please note: If you need components that are not available in our search form, we can obtain parts from brokers or you can supply components (additional fees may apply). Please fill in this request form and contact one of our Project Managers. They will be glad to help you.
