Margin is too thin for sustainable growth
At 0.0% margin, you keep only $24.96 per order. This leaves almost no room for returns, ads, or offsite ad attribution. Even a $1 increase in costs would cut profit by 4% if you cannot raise price.
Fee burden is within marketplace norms
Fees take 13.9% of revenue ($4.04). This is common across marketplaces. Focus on controlling product and shipping costs rather than chasing fee reductions, since marketplace fees are largely fixed.

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
- 1Revenue = salePrice × quantity.
- 2GumroadFee = revenue × gumroadFee%.
- 3ProcessingFee = revenue × processing% + fixed.
- 4TotalFees = gumroadFee + processingFee.
- 5GrossProfit = revenue − totalFees.
- 6NetProfit = grossProfit − productCost × quantity.
- 7GrossMargin = grossProfit / revenue × 100.
- 8NetMargin = netProfit / revenue × 100.
- 9EffectiveFeeRate = totalFees / revenue × 100.
- 10Plan savings = (FreeFee − ProFee) comparing 10% vs 5% on same revenue, minus $10 monthly reference for Pro.
Formulas
- Revenue = price × qty
- GumroadFee = revenue × gumroad%
- Processing = revenue × processing% + fixed
- GrossProfit = revenue − fees
- NetProfit = gross − productCost × qty
- GrossMargin = grossProfit �� revenue × 100
- NetMargin = netProfit ÷ revenue × 100
- EffectiveFee = totalFees ÷ revenue × 100
Important assumptions
- Revenue = salePrice × quantity.
- Gumroad fee = revenue × gumroadFeePercent / 100 per plan selected.
- Processing = revenue × processingPercent / 100 + fixed per order.
- Total fees combine Gumroad plus processing; gross profit subtracts fees only.
- Net profit subtracts productCost × quantity as well.
- Free 10% vs Pro 5% comparison uses current quantity; Pro $10 monthly reference not deducted per order but shown in savings note.
