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
- 1Choose a product scenario or enter custom product and shipping costs.
- 2Add product, shipping, branding, and any editable Gooten fee estimate as fulfillment charges.
- 3Apply connected-store percentage and fixed payment charges to retail price.
- 4Allocate monthly subscription across expected orders and add advertising cost.
- 5Subtract all modeled costs from retail price.
Formulas
- Gooten fulfillment = product + shipping + branding + retail × Gooten fee%
- Storefront/payment = retail × (payment% + store transaction%) + fixed fee
- Subscription allocation = monthly subscription ÷ expected monthly orders
- Contribution = retail − Gooten fulfillment − storefront/payment − ads − subscription
Important assumptions
- This USD model treats Gooten as a fulfillment provider, not a marketplace with a standard selling commission.
- Product scenarios start at $8.50 for a tee, $19.50 for a hoodie, $5.25 for a mug, $6.50 for a phone case, and $15 for wall art. Replace them with current catalog costs.
- US shipping scenarios start at $4.99 for apparel and phone cases, $5.99 for mugs, and $12 for wall art. Destination rates vary.
- Gooten platform fee and monthly subscription default to 0%. Connected storefront and payment costs are separate and editable.
- Verify Gooten, storefront, payment, destination, tax, branding, and subscription terms before acting.
