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
- 1Apply the discount and refund adjustment to list price.
- 2Combine platform and processor rates against realized sales.
- 3Add fixed processor, listing, design, and marketing costs.
- 4Solve list price for target after-reserve take-home.
- 5Solve list price for target after-reserve margin.
- 6Compare the test list price and show the planning context separately.
Formulas
- Realized factor = (1 − discount or refund rate) × (1 − platform commission% − processor%)
- Fixed costs = processor fixed + listing allocation + design and production + marketing allocation
- After reserve = [list price × realized factor − fixed costs] × (1 − reserve rate)
- Price for take-home = [target + fixed costs × (1 − reserve rate)] ÷ [realized factor × (1 − reserve rate)]
- Price for margin = fixed costs × (1 − reserve rate) ÷ [realized factor × (1 − reserve rate) − target margin]
- Seller share at test = realized sales × (1 − platform commission%)
Important assumptions
- The reverse calculation uses realized sales = list price × (1 − discount and refund rate), then applies the editable platform commission and processor rate.
- 40% platform and 50% platform contexts are planning assumptions reported in research, not guaranteed Creative Market terms. Confirm your current shop agreement.
- Target take-home and margin are after the entered reserve. The reserve is cash planning, not tax advice.
- Listing, design, production, and marketing costs are allocated to one product sale. Use a blended allocation when costs support a catalog.
- If the after-reserve revenue factor is zero or negative, no finite list price can reach the target under the entered assumptions.
