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