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
- 1Calculate blank, print, branding, shipping, packaging, warehousing, and editable Apliiq platform costs using the same order model as the cost calculator.
- 2Apply connected-store percentage and fixed fees to each candidate retail price, while keeping buyer-paid shipping separate.
- 3Allocate enabled VIP overhead across expected monthly orders and add ads and other costs.
- 4Binary-search the lowest price meeting target profit and target margin, then recommend the higher requirement.
- 5Report projected profit, margin, shipping policy, and the assumptions used at the recommended price.
Formulas
- Fulfillment = blank + print + labels + shipping + packaging + warehousing + retail × Apliiq fee%
- Store/payment = retail × (payment% + transaction%) + fixed fee
- VIP overhead allocation = enabled monthly VIP cost ÷ expected monthly orders
- Projected profit = retail − fulfillment − store/payment − VIP allocation − ads − other costs
- Projected margin = projected profit ÷ retail × 100
- Recommended price = higher of the price meeting target profit and the price meeting target margin
Important assumptions
- This price solve treats Apliiq as a fulfillment provider and returns a planning price floor. Your connected storefront controls the final customer price.
- Blank, print, branding, shipping, packaging, warehousing, and fee defaults are editable USD planning assumptions: $8 T-shirt, $25 hoodie, $8 hat, $7.49 DTG/DTF, $7 embroidery per location, labels at $2.50 and $2, and $5.49 US shipping.
- The $100 threshold changes buyer-facing shipping. Buyer-paid shipping is displayed separately and is not added to modeled creator revenue or store fees by default.
- VIP is disabled by default. When enabled, the $39.99 monthly planning scenario is divided by expected monthly orders. Apliiq platform fee starts at 0% and remains editable.
- Connected store and payment costs start at 2.9% plus $0.30, with optional transaction percentage at 0%. Ads and other costs are per order.
- The binary search returns the lowest price that reaches both goals within a $1,000,000 planning range. Verify current Apliiq catalog, account, shipping, payment, and store terms before publishing.
