Pick your state and enter your year-to-date gross sales (before COGS).
Tier: High cap. Cap is calendar-year gross sales unless your state specifies otherwise.
Use gross sales (before COGS, packaging, or platform fees) — that’s what almost every state’s cap counts.
Used to project your end-of-year total at your current pace.
The $150K cap is a floor DSHS adjusts annually for inflation using CPI-U — check DSHS for the current-year figure. Nothing may be shipped or mailed; internet orders require personal delivery. The wholesale path for non-TCS items is unique — few states allow cottage products in retail without a commercial kitchen.
Direct sales, farmers markets, online ordering, and wholesale (non-TCS) permitted — within Texas only. Nothing may be shipped or mailed: an internet order is compliant only if the operator, an employee, or a household member personally delivers it (§ 437.0194(b)(1)). SB 541 (2025) struck the former "or by mail order" wording, and DSHS does not authorize carrier shipment. Wholesale requires a registered cottage food vendor.
