    Excellent margin — premium positioning is working

    With 48.9% margin and $18.60 profit per order, this product is priced well above costs. You have strong headroom to offer bundle discounts, absorb seasonal shipping surcharges, or invest in better packaging without eroding profit.

    Very efficient fee structure

    Only 3.7% of revenue goes to platform fees. This is better than most sellers achieve and means your pricing power goes straight to profit.

    Product cost is 75.3% of revenue — high for resale

    With product costs at $28.60 on $38.00 revenue, there is little left after fees. Explore bulk discounts, alternative suppliers, or increasing perceived value to justify a higher price.

    Recommended Improvements

    Specific moves you can make today, ranked by potential profit impact. Each uses your real numbers.

    Negotiate product cost or source alternative

    Medium impact

    Product cost is 75.3% of revenue. A 10% reduction from $28.60 to $25.74 would add $2.86 profit per unit — $285.98 on 100 sales per month.

    Create a 2-pack bundle to improve fees efficiency

    Medium impact

    Listing fee stays flat per bundle. Selling two items together for $57.60 with a 10% bundle discount could net around $33.48 profit versus $37.20 separately, while reducing per-unit fee impact and shipping overhead.

    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. 1Order revenue equals item sale price multiplied by quantity, plus shipping charged.
    2. 2Pinterest and gateway percentages apply to order revenue. The gateway fixed amount is counted once per order.
    3. 3Payout before product cost subtracts channel, gateway, ads, packaging, seller shipping, and returns or other costs.
    4. 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.

    Worked example

    Pinterest product discovery order

    One $32 item with $6 shipping charged, $10 product cost, $1 packaging, $6 seller shipping, $1 returns allowance, no Pinterest commission, no ads, and 2.9% + $0.30 gateway processing.

    Revenue is $38. Pinterest's modeled fee is $0, gateway processing is about $1.40, seller costs are $18, and estimated profit is about $18.60 at a 48.9% margin. Replace the processor and operating assumptions with your own storefront records.
