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
- 1Calculate product subtotal from unit price times order quantity.
- 2Let the variable subtotal rate equal marketplace commission plus payment processing percentage.
- 3Solve the subtotal so payout after commission, new-customer fee, and processing reaches the selected required payout.
- 4For a profit goal, required payout equals target profit plus all entered product and operating costs.
- 5Divide the solved subtotal by order quantity to return the recommended wholesale unit price.
Formulas
- Required payout = targetAmount for payout goal, or targetAmount + product and operating costs for profit goal
- Subtotal payout = subtotal × (1 − commission% − processing%) + shippingReimbursement × (1 − processing%) − newCustomerFee − processingFixed
- Product subtotal = [required payout − shippingReimbursement × (1 − processing%) + newCustomerFee + processingFixed] ÷ [1 − commission% − processing%]
- Recommended unit price = product subtotal ÷ orderQuantity
Important assumptions
- This solves a brand-side wholesale price for a US or North America planning scenario.
- Marketplace commission is applied to product subtotal, not shipping reimbursement. Payment processing is modeled on product subtotal plus shipping reimbursement.
- Faire Direct defaults to 0% commission and $0 new-customer fee. First versus reorder matters only for a marketplace-discovered order.
- The target profit includes product, packaging, shipping, and other costs. The target payout option stops before those costs.
- Payout speed, region, and brand account terms vary. Older 25% or 15% articles may be pre-July 2024. Verify current terms at https://help.faire.com.
