Excellent margin — premium positioning is working

Very efficient fee structure
Only 3.6% of revenue goes to platform fees. This is better than most sellers achieve and means your pricing power goes straight to profit.
Product cost is 78.8% of revenue — high for resale
With product costs at $34.67 on $44.00 revenue, there is little left after fees. Explore bulk discounts, alternative suppliers, or increasing perceived value to justify a higher price.

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
- 1Order revenue equals item sale price multiplied by quantity, plus shipping charged to the buyer.
- 2Meta fee and gateway percentage apply to order revenue. The gateway fixed fee is counted once per order.
- 3Payout before product cost subtracts Meta, gateway, ads, packaging, seller shipping, and returns or other costs.
- 4Estimated profit subtracts product cost from payout before product cost. Margin equals profit divided by order revenue.
Formulas
- Revenue = (salePrice × quantity) + shippingCharged
- Meta fee = revenue × metaCommissionPercent
- Gateway fee = revenue × gatewayPercent + gatewayFixed
- Profit = revenue − Meta fee − gateway fee − ads − product − packaging − seller shipping − returns and other
Important assumptions
- This current model treats Instagram Shop as product discovery that sends buyers to the seller's website checkout.
- Meta platform transaction fee defaults to 0%. The field stays editable for an account-specific or future charge.
- Gateway processing defaults to 2.9% + $0.30 per order and applies to item revenue plus shipping charged. Replace it with your processor terms.
- Instagram and Facebook Shop use Commerce Manager, but this is not a Facebook Marketplace shipped or local-pickup model.
- Taxes, refunds beyond the allowance entered, currency conversion, and monthly store costs are outside this order scenario.
