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
- 1Revenue = retailPrice × quantity.
- 2ProductionCosts = (printfulBaseCost + shippingCost) × quantity + digitizationFee.
- 3PlatformFees = revenue × platformFeePercent/100 + platformFeeFixed.
- 4AdditionalCosts = (marketingCost + packagingAddOns) × quantity.
- 5Total = productionCosts + platformFees + additionalCosts.
- 6NetProfit = revenue − total.
- 7ProfitMargin = netProfit / revenue × 100.
- 8Break-even solves retail price making netProfit zero.
Formulas
- Revenue = retail × qty
- Production = (base + shipping) × qty + digitization
- Fees = revenue × fee% + fixed
- Extras = (marketing + pack) × qty
- Net = revenue − production − fees − extras
- Margin = net ÷ revenue × 100
Important assumptions
- Printful base includes product and print fee. Get exact from Printful catalog.
- Digitization applied once per order, relevant for embroidery.
- Shipping is Printful cost to ship to customer.
- Platform fee models Etsy, Shopify, or other marketplace take rate.
