    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

    1. 1TotalCosts = productCost + marketingCost.
    2. 2EffectiveRate = transactionFeePercent + paymentProcessingPercent all divided by 100.
    3. 3TotalFixed = paymentProcessingFixed.
    4. 4RecommendedPrice = (totalCosts + fixed + targetProfit) / (1 - effectiveRate).
    5. 5EffectiveMargin = targetProfit / recommendedPrice × 100.

    Formulas

    • Costs = product + marketing
    • Rate = payhip% + processing%
    • Recommended = (costs + fixed + target) / (1 − rate)
    • Margin = target ÷ recommended × 100

    Important assumptions

    • Recommended price solved where net = target profit after percent fees.
    • Combined percent = Payhip percent + processing percent.
    • Fixed fee added once per transaction.
    • When combined percent near 100%, price formula fails and validation blocks.
    • Monthly plan fees not in per-order price, compare separately.

    Worked example

    Target $10 profit

    No product cost, no marketing, Payhip Free 5%, Stripe 2.9% + $0.30, target $10.

    Combined rate 7.9%. Recommended = ($0 + $0.30 + $10) / 0.921 = about $11.18. Margin about 89.4% on recommended price, costs zero, fees about $1.18. If target $20, recommended about $22.04.
