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
- 1Product subtotal equals wholesale unit price times order quantity.
- 2Commission uses product subtotal only. Shipping reimbursement is outside the commission base.
- 3Processing uses total collected, product subtotal plus shipping reimbursement, then adds the fixed fee.
- 4Payout before COGS equals total collected less commission, new-customer fee, and processing.
- 5Profit subtracts product cost, packaging, shipping, and other costs. Margin uses total collected as its denominator.
Formulas
- Product subtotal = wholesaleUnitPrice × orderQuantity
- Total collected = productSubtotal + shippingReimbursement
- Commission = productSubtotal × marketplaceCommission% for marketplace path
- Processing = totalCollected × processing% + processingFixed
- Profit = totalCollected − platform fees − product cost − packaging − shipping − other costs
Important assumptions
- This is a US and North America brand-side planning model, not a retailer buying-cost calculator.
- Marketplace commission defaults to 15% of product subtotal only. Shipping reimbursement is not commissionable in this model.
- Faire Direct defaults to 0% commission and $0 new-customer fee. A first-order fee applies only to the marketplace path and first-order selection.
- Payment processing defaults to about 3% plus $0.30 on total collected. Payout speed, region, and account terms can change the actual charge.
- Older Faire articles quoting 25% or 15% may describe terms from before July 2024. Verify current brand terms at https://help.faire.com.
