    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. 1Total cost = numberOfProducts × averageCostPerItem.
    2. 2Potential revenue = numberOfProducts × averageSellingPrice.
    3. 3Gross profit potential = potentialRevenue − totalCost.
    4. 4Etsy fees total = potentialRevenue × etsyFeePercent.
    5. 5Packaging total = numberOfProducts × packagingCostPerItem.
    6. 6Net profit potential = grossProfit − feesTotal − packagingTotal + shippingProfitTotal.
    7. 7Monthly units = numberOfProducts × sellThroughRate.
    8. 8Months to sell through = 1 ÷ sellThroughRate when rate >0, in months.
    9. 9Inventory turnover per year = sellThroughRate × 12.
    10. 10Monthly net subtracts monthly storage from monthly net before storage.

    Formulas

    • InventoryCost = units × costPerItem
    • PotentialRevenue = units × sellingPrice
    • GrossProfit = potentialRevenue − inventoryCost
    • NetPotential = grossProfit − fees − packaging + shippingProfit + (units × shippingProfit)
    • MonthlyUnits = units × sellThrough%
    • MonthsToSell = 1 ÷ sellThrough%
    • TurnoverYear = sellThrough% × 12

    Important assumptions

    • Total inventory cost is units × average cost per item.
    • Total potential revenue is units × average selling price.
    • Etsy fees apply to gross revenue at the entered percent plus shipping profit influences net.
    • Monthly sell-through units is total units × sell-through rate.
    • Storage cost accrues monthly and total over sell-through period is monthly storage × months to sell.
    • Share storage and packaging as per-unit to keep math comparable across batches.

    Worked example

    Ceramic mug collection

    200 units in stock, cost $8 each, sell at $29.99, 25% sell-through monthly, 10% Etsy fee, $0 shipping profit, $0.10 storage, $1 packaging.

    Inventory cost $1600, potential revenue $5998, gross profit $4398. After $599.80 Etsy fees and $200 packaging, net potential about $3598.20. Sell 50 per month for $1499.50 revenue, $869.55 net monthly after fees and storage, clearing in 4 months with turnover 3x per year.
