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
- 1Gross seller revenue equals item price plus buyer-paid shipping, multiplied by shipment count.
- 2Shipped platform fee uses the larger of percentage fee and minimum fee per shipment. Local pickup fee is zero.
- 3Payout before product cost subtracts platform fee, seller label or carrier cost, packaging, and returns or other cost.
- 4Total costs add product cost to those seller costs. Profit subtracts total costs and platform fee from gross seller revenue. Margin uses gross seller revenue.
Formulas
- Gross revenue = (itemPricePerShipment + buyerPaidShippingPerShipment) × shipmentCount
- Platform fee = max((item price + buyer shipping) × fee%, minimumFeePerShipment) × shipmentCount for shipped checkout
- Payout before product = gross revenue − platform fee − seller shipping − packaging − returns and other
- Profit = payoutBeforeProduct − productCostPerShipment × shipmentCount
Important assumptions
- This is a US-focused planning estimate. Shipped checkout and seller eligibility vary by country, account, listing, and current Meta terms.
- Shipped checkout defaults to 10% and $0.80 minimum per shipment. Buyer-paid shipping can be included in the modeled fee base.
- Local pickup without Marketplace checkout uses 0% platform fee in this model. Add travel, payment, or refund exposure to other costs.
- Sales tax is excluded from seller revenue and profit. Do not enter collected tax as product revenue.
- Older 5% and $0.40 guidance is outdated for this planning model. Verify current fee and checkout terms in your Marketplace account.
