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 item sale price multiplied by quantity, plus shipping charged.
- 2Pinterest and gateway percentages apply to order revenue. The gateway fixed amount is counted once per order.
- 3Payout before product cost subtracts channel, gateway, ads, packaging, seller shipping, and returns or other costs.
- 4Estimated profit subtracts product cost from payout before product cost. Margin equals profit divided by revenue.
Formulas
- Revenue = (salePrice × quantity) + shippingCharged
- Pinterest fee = revenue × pinterestCommissionPercent
- Gateway fee = revenue × gatewayPercent + gatewayFixed
- Profit = revenue − Pinterest fee − gateway fee − ads − product − packaging − seller shipping − returns and other
Important assumptions
- Pinterest Shopping is modeled as product discovery that sends the buyer to the merchant's own website checkout.
- Pinterest commission or listing fee defaults to 0%. The field is editable only to test account-specific or campaign-specific terms.
- Gateway processing defaults to 2.9% + $0.30 per order and applies to item revenue plus shipping charged. Verify your storefront processor terms.
- Pinterest ad spend is optional and is not treated as a mandatory sale fee. Enter a blended per-order allowance only when it applies.
- Taxes, returns policy, shipping policy, and fulfillment remain governed by the seller's own website and operations.
