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
- 1Choose the offer, plan, billing context, and processor.
- 2Apply the selected Podia starting rate or custom platform override.
- 3Add processing, currency, other percentage charges, product and delivery costs, plan allocation, and email overage allocation.
- 4Solve separately for the price that reaches target net and the price that reaches target margin.
- 5Test the current price against the same visible assumptions and flag any impossible target safely.
Formulas
- Variable rate = Podia platform % + processing % + currency % + other %
- Fixed per-sale cost = processor fixed + product + delivery + other cost + plan allocation + email allocation
- Price for target net = (target net + fixed per-sale cost) ÷ (1 − variable rate)
- Price for target margin = fixed per-sale cost ÷ (1 − variable rate − target margin)
- Net at current price = current price − current price × variable rate − fixed per-sale cost
- Recommended price = higher feasible target price
Important assumptions
- Mover starts with a 5% Podia transaction fee, while Shaker and Earthquaker start at 0%. The platform rate is editable and processor costs remain separate.
- Stripe or PayPal processing starts at 2.9% plus $0.30 per sale. Country, card, currency, payment method, and account terms can change it.
- Plan allocation equals monthly plan cost divided by expected monthly sales. Email overage allocation equals monthly email overage divided by expected monthly sales. Zero volume shows zero per-sale allocation and keeps the monthly inputs visible.
- The target margin equation is feasible only when combined percentage costs plus target margin stay below 100%. Impossible targets return a safe status instead of Infinity.
- Podia plan pricing, included email limits, overage charges, refunds, taxes, and payment terms can change. Verify current terms before publishing a price.
