    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.
