    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. 1Sum cash creation costs excluding labor for payback calculation.
    2. 2Calculate opportunity labor at $25/hr for context but keep cash profit separate.
    3. 3Deduct platform percentage and fixed fees from selling price for earnings per sale.
    4. 4Amortize creation cost over expected annual sales for per-unit cost.
    5. 5Multiply profit per sale by annual estimate for yearly profit.
    6. 6Divide creation cost by earnings per sale for break-even units, then by monthly sales rate for months to break-even.

    Formulas

    • creationCash = softwareMonth + fontAsset + cover + listing
    • laborOpp = (designHrs+revisionHrs)×25
    • totalWithOpp = creationCash + laborOpp
    • amortized = creationCash / annualSales
    • earnings = price×(1-fee%)−feeFixed
    • profitPerSale = earnings − amortized
    • annualProfit = profitPerSale × annualSales
    • breakEven = creationCash / earnings
    • monthsBE = breakEven / (annualSales/12)

    Important assumptions

    • totalCreationCost = designSoftwareCostPerMonth + fontAndAssetCostPerPlanner + coverDesignCost + listingPhotoCost (cash out, not including labor opportunity cost).
    • totalCreationWithLaborOpportunity = creationCost + (designHours+revisionHours)×$25/hr for value of time.
    • amortizedPerUnit = creationCost / annualSalesEstimate.
    • earningsPerSale = sellingPrice×(1−feePct)−feeFixed.
    • profitPerSale = earningsPerSale − amortizedPerUnit.
    • annual profit = profitPerSale × annualSalesEstimate.
    • break-even units = creationCost / earningsPerSale.
    • months to break-even = breakEvenUnits / (annualSalesEstimate/12).

    Worked example

    Yearly bundle – passive income math

    Yearly bundle $12.99. Creation cost: $15 software + $8 fonts + $15 cover + $0 photos = $38. Labor 15hrs at $25/hr = $375 opportunity. Total $413. Estimate 200 sales/yr.

    Creation cash $38. Labor opp 15hr×$25=$375 total $413. Per sale: $12.99×0.9-$0.30=$11.39 earnings. Amortize $38/200=$0.19. Profit $11.20/sale ×200=$2,240 annual. Break-even $38/$11.39=3.3 units cash, $413/$11.39=36 units with labor. At 16.7 sales/month = 2.2 months to recover. After break-even 95%+ margin. 3-year 600 sales $6,720 profit from one planner.
