    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

    1. 1Calculate Gelato product, shipping, branding, and any editable commission estimate.
    2. 2Calculate storefront and payment charges separately from Gelato fulfillment.
    3. 3Allocate the selected monthly subscription across expected orders.
    4. 4Subtract fulfillment, connected-store charges, ads, and subscription allocation from retail revenue.
    5. 5Profit margin divides net profit by retail revenue.

    Formulas

    • Gelato fulfillment = product + shipping + branding + retail × Gelato commission%
    • Storefront/payment = retail × (storefront fee% + transaction%) + fixed fee
    • Subscription allocation = selected monthly subscription ÷ expected orders
    • Net profit = retail − Gelato fulfillment − storefront/payment − ads − subscription allocation
    • Margin = net profit ÷ retail × 100

    Important assumptions

    • USD Gelato fulfillment planning model, not a marketplace commission model.
    • Product cost starts around $10 and US shipping around $4.66 for a classic tee scenario; update both from the current catalog and destination rate.
    • Gelato commission defaults to 0%. Older or conflicting claims remain editable but are not treated as universal.
    • Connected-store payment starts at 2.9% plus $0.30 and optional transaction percentage starts at 0%.
    • Free plan defaults to $0; Gelato+ $24 and $30 monthly values are editable scenarios allocated per order.
    • Verify current Gelato, connected-store, payment, tax, destination, and subscription terms before acting.
