How it works
How the Etsy Sale Price 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
- 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.
