AI Business Insights
NewPersonalized recommendations generated from your live calculation. No generic advice — every insight uses your actual numbers.
Margin is too thin for sustainable growth
At 0.0% margin, you keep only $3.20 per order. This leaves almost no room for returns, ads, or offsite ad attribution. Even a $1 increase in costs would cut profit by 31% if you cannot raise price.

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 equals retailPrice times quantity.
- 2ProductionCosts equal (printifyBaseCost + shippingCost) times quantity.
- 3PlatformFees equal revenue times platformFeePercent plus platformFeeFixed.
- 4AdditionalCosts equal (marketingCost + packagingAddOns) times quantity.
- 5ToolCostPerOrder equals monthlyToolCost divided by avgMonthlyOrders when orders >0 else 0.
- 6Total costs sum production, platform fees, additional, and tool per order.
- 7GrossProfit equals revenue minus productionCosts.
- 8NetProfit equals revenue minus total costs.
- 9Gross and net margins divide respective profit by revenue.
Formulas
- Revenue = retailPrice × quantity
- ProductionCosts = (baseCost + shipping) × qty
- PlatformFees = revenue × fee% + fixed
- AdditionalCosts = (marketing + packaging) × qty
- ToolPerOrder = monthlyToolCost ÷ avgMonthlyOrders
- Total = production + fees + additional + toolPerOrder
- GrossProfit = revenue − production
- NetProfit = revenue − total
- GrossMargin = grossProfit ÷ revenue × 100
- NetMargin = netProfit ÷ revenue × 100
Important assumptions
- Printify base and shipping pulled from provider catalog for exact variant and destination.
- Platform fees model your marketplace take rate plus payment processing.
- Monthly tool cost spread as monthlyToolCost divided by avgMonthlyOrders, zero when orders zero.
- Packaging and marketing are per-unit incremental costs.
- Taxes, returns, and Printify Premium subscription not included unless added.
