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
- 1Build equation: targetProfit = targetMargin% × salePrice.
- 2Revenue = salePrice + shippingCharged.
- 3Fees = revenue × (transaction%+processing%)/100 + processingFixed + listingFee.
- 4Costs = productCost + packagingCost + actualShippingCost.
- 5Net profit = revenue − costs − fees.
- 6Set netProfit = targetMargin% × salePrice and solve for salePrice.
- 7Solve: minimumSalePrice = (costs + fixedFees + shippingCharged×rate − target%×shippingCharged) / (1 − rate − target%).
- 8Max discount = (regularPrice − minimumSalePrice)/regularPrice ×100.
Formulas
- rate = (txn%+proc%)/100
- Revenue = salePrice + shippingCharged
- Fees = revenue×rate + fixed + listing
- Net = revenue − costs − fees
- Target: Net = target% × salePrice
- minSale = (costs+fixed+shipping×rate − target%×shipping)/(1−rate−target%)
- maxDiscount = (regular − minSale)/regular ×100
Important assumptions
- Margin is defined as net profit divided by sale item price before shipping, matching how many sellers track item margin.
- This solver uses: salePrice + shippingCharged - (productCost+packaging+shippingActual) - ((salePrice+shippingCharged)*(txn%+proc%)/100+fixed+listing) = targetMargin% × salePrice.
- Shipping charged stays constant — only item price is discounted.
- If solution is negative or below cost, max discount is capped logically and you should raise regular price or lower costs first.
- Etsy fees apply to (salePrice + shippingCharged) per Etsy fee base.
