Amazon Discount Calculator

    Coupons cost $0.60 per redemption, Lightning Deals cost a flat fee that must be spread across units, and every discount still pays referral percent on the lower price while FBA fees stay fixed per unit. This calculator compares regular price versus discounted price to show profit erosion per unit, total impact, and how many extra regular-price units you need to sell to recover the promo cost.

    How it works

    Methodology & formulas

    This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.

    Calculation steps

    1. 1SalePrice discounted derived from discountType and discountValue.
    2. 2ReferralRegular = regularPrice × referral%.
    3. 3ReferralDiscounted = discountedPrice × referral%.
    4. 4PromoFeePerUnit = 0 unless coupon adds couponRedemptionFee or lightning_deal adds lightningDealFee/expectedUnits.
    5. 5ProfitRegular = regularPrice − product − fulfillment − referralRegular − ppc.
    6. 6ProfitDiscounted = discountedPrice − product − fulfillment − referralDiscounted − ppc − promoFee.
    7. 7Margin = profit / price ×100.
    8. 8TotalImpact = (profitDiscounted − profitRegular) × expectedUnits.
    9. 9BreakEvenExtra = |totalImpact| / profitRegular when profitRegular >0.

    Formulas

    • DiscountedPrice = regular × (1 - %) or regular - $ for dollar types
    • ProfitRegular = regular − product − fulfillment − regular×referral% − PPC
    • PromoFee = 0, or $0.60 for coupon, or flatFee/units for lightning
    • ProfitDiscounted = discounted − product − fulfillment − discounted×referral% − PPC − promoFee
    • TotalImpact = (profitDiscounted − profitRegular) × expectedUnits
    • BreakEvenExtraUnits = |totalImpact| ÷ profitRegular

    Important assumptions

    • Discounted price = regular minus discount value. For percent_off or coupon percent, discounted = regular × (1 - discount%). For dollar_off or lightning_deal dollar amount, discounted = regular - discountValue.
    • Price floored at $0.01 minimum.
    • Referral fee applies to discounted price at referralFeePercent.
    • Coupon redemption fee $0.60 applies per unit only when discountType is coupon, else 0.
    • Lightning Deal flat fee divided by expectedUnits adds to per-unit promo cost only for lightning_deal type.
    • Total per-unit costs include productCost + fulfillmentCost + ppcPerOrder + referral at that price + promo fee if any.
    • Break-even extra units = total profit impact loss divided by regular profit per unit when regular profit positive.

    Worked example

    20% off $29.99 coupon scenario

    $29.99 regular, 20% coupon, product $8, fulfillment $4.50, referral 15%, PPC $1, coupon fee $0.60, 100 units expected.

    Discounted price $23.99 (20% off). Referral regular $4.50, referral discounted $3.60 saves $0.90 but add $0.60 coupon fee net $0.30 saving. Regular profit ~ $29.99-8-4.50-4.50-1=$11.99? Actually $12. Roughly $11.99. Discounted profit ~ $23.99-8-4.50-3.60-1-0.60=$6.29. Margin drops from ~40% to ~26%. Profit change -$5.70 per unit, total impact -$570 for 100 units. Needs about 48 extra regular units to recover.
