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
- 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.
Worked example
$29.99 item at 20% off
$29.99 regular, 20% off = $23.99. Shipping $4.99 both charged and actual $4.99, product $10, packaging $1.50, Etsy fees 6.5%+3%+$0.45.
