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
- 1Total effective percent = finalValueFeePercent + promotedListingsPercent.
- 2Total fixed fees = finalValueFeeFixed + insertionFee.
- 3Fulfillment = productCost + actualShippingCost + packagingCost.
- 4Recommended price uses formula (fulfillment + fixed + target + shippingCharged*fee%) / (1 - fee%) as specified.
- 5Buyer total = recommendedPrice + shippingCharged.
- 6Effective margin = targetProfit divided by buyer total.
- 7Markup = targetProfit divided by fulfillment costs.
Formulas
- Effective fee % = FVF% + Promoted%
- Fixed fees = FVF fixed + insertion
- Fulfillment = product + actualShipping + packaging
- Recommended = (Fulfillment + Fixed + Target + ShippingCharged×Fee%) ÷ (1 − Fee%)
- Buyer total = Recommended + shippingCharged
- Margin = Target ÷ Buyer total × 100
Important assumptions
- eBay percent fees apply to total buyer pays (item price + shipping charged).
- Fixed fees are counted once per order at recommended price.
- If shipping charged is zero, recommended price already includes shipping coverage.
- Combined percent fees must stay below 100% for algebra to solve.
- This is pre-tax and does not include refunds, cases, or currency conversion.
