    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. 1Revenue = salePrice × quantity.
    2. 2PayhipFee = revenue × transactionFeePercent/100.
    3. 3ProcessingFee = revenue × processingPercent/100 + fixed.
    4. 4TotalFees = payhipFee + processingFee.
    5. 5TotalCosts = (productCost + marketingCost) × quantity.
    6. 6NetProfit = revenue − totalFees − totalCosts.
    7. 7Margin = netProfit / revenue × 100.
    8. 8EffectiveFee% = totalFees / revenue × 100.

    Formulas

    • Revenue = price × qty
    • PayhipFee = revenue × payhip%
    • Processing = revenue × proc% + fixed
    • Net = revenue − fees − costs
    • Margin = net ÷ revenue × 100
    • EffectiveFee = totalFees ÷ revenue × 100

    Important assumptions

    • Payhip Free 5%, Plus 2% plus $29 monthly, Pro 0% plus $99 monthly. Percent only used per order.
    • Processing typically 2.9% + $0.30 US domestic, varies by country.
    • Product and marketing per unit incremental.
    • VAT handling not modeled.
    • Affiliate payouts not included.
