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
- 1Sum other costs as item+actualShip+pack+other
- 2Derive linear equation for profit in terms of price and shipCharged
- 3Solve for price that gives desired profit
- 4Calculate fees at that price
- 5Round up to nearest .99 dollar as suggested
- 6Calculate profit and margin at suggested
Formulas
- TotalCosts = item+actualShip+pack+other
- Revenue = price+shipCharged
- Fees = price×10% + (revenue×2.9%+$0.50)
- Profit = revenue − fees − totalCosts
- Solve: price = (totalCosts+profit+0.5 − shipCharged×0.971) ÷0.871
- Suggested = ceil(minimum)−0.01
Important assumptions
- Mercari fees: sellingFee = price × 10%, paymentFee = (price+shippingCharged) × 2.9% + $0.50
- Revenue = price + shippingCharged
- Profit = revenue − fees − (item+actualShip+pack+other)
- Solve for price: profit = price + shipCharged − 0.1×price − (price+shipCharged)×0.029 −0.5 − otherCostsSum
- Simplify: profit = price×(1−0.1−0.029) + shipCharged×(1−0.029) −0.5 − otherCostsSum
- So price = (otherCostsSum + profit +0.5 − shipCharged×0.971) ÷0.871
Worked example
Want $12 profit, item $10 cost
Item cost $10, actual shipping $0, packaging $1, other $0, shipping charged $0, desired profit $12.
