How it works
How the Etsy Discount Calculator works
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
- 1Discounted price = regularPrice × (1 − discountPercent/100).
- 2Regular revenue = regularPrice + shippingCharged.
- 3Discounted revenue = discountedPrice + shippingCharged.
- 4Fees = revenue × (transaction%+processing%)/100 + processingFixed + listingFee.
- 5Net profit = revenue − (productCost + packagingCost + actualShippingCost) − fees.
- 6Profit drop = regularNetProfit − discountedNetProfit.
- 7Margin = netProfit / revenue × 100.
- 8Volume needed = ceil(regularProfit / discountedProfit) when both positive.
Formulas
- discountedPrice = regular × (1 − discount%)
- revenue = itemPrice + shippingCharged
- fees = revenue × (txn%+proc%)/100 + fixed + listing
- netProfit = revenue − productCosts − fulfillment − fees
- volumeNeeded = regularProfit / discountedProfit
Important assumptions
- Discount applies to item price only, shipping charged stays the same.
- Etsy percentage fees apply to discounted total (item + shipping charged).
- Fixed fees per order remain the same regardless of discount.
- Product, packaging, and actual shipping costs stay constant — discount does not change your costs.
- Volume needed to match regular profit assumes you can sustain higher order count without raising overhead.
