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 product price per unit times quantity plus shipping charged.
- 2Platform charges combine referral, transaction, fixed, and allocated monthly plan costs.
- 3Product costs equal product cost per unit times quantity.
- 4Total seller costs equal product costs, seller shipping, packaging, and returns or other costs.
- 5Payout before product costs equals order revenue minus platform charges.
- 6Net profit equals payout before product costs minus total seller costs. Margin uses order revenue as the denominator.
Formulas
- Order revenue = (product price × quantity) + shipping charged
- Plan allocation = monthly plan fee ÷ expected monthly orders
- Total platform charges = referral fee + transaction fee + fixed fee + plan allocation
- Total seller costs = product cost per unit × quantity + seller shipping + packaging + returns or other
- Net profit = order revenue − platform charges − seller costs
- Profit margin = net profit ÷ order revenue
Important assumptions
- Michaels MakerPlace has conflicting published and help materials. The three scenario labels are editable planning cases, not universal account terms.
- Starting cases are Basic 4% referral + 3% transaction + $0.20 fixed with no monthly fee; Professional about 2% + 3% + $0.20 with about $9.98 monthly; and current seller agreement 20% transaction or commission with processing included, 0% referral, and $0 fixed.
- The selector is a label only. Change every rate and plan input to match the terms shown in your seller account.
- Percentage charges apply to product subtotal plus shipping charged in this planning model. Plan cost is allocated by expected monthly orders.
- Weekly payouts and possible in-store assisted-return chargebacks are caveats. They are not automatic fees in this result.
