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 is calculated as selling price times quantity.
- 2Variable cost per unit combines product, shipping, packaging, marketing, and other per-unit costs.
- 3Total variable costs equal variable cost per unit times quantity.
- 4Total costs add fixed batch costs to total variable costs.
- 5Gross profit equals revenue minus total variable costs.
- 6Net profit equals revenue minus total costs.
- 7Net margin equals net profit divided by revenue.
- 8Break-even price equals total costs divided by quantity.
- 9Cost per unit equals total costs divided by quantity.
Formulas
- Revenue = salePrice × quantity
- Variable cost per unit = productCost + shipping + packaging + marketing + other
- Total variable costs = variable cost per unit × quantity
- Total costs = total variable costs + fixedCosts
- Gross profit = revenue − total variable costs
- Net profit = revenue − total costs
- Profit margin = netProfit ÷ revenue × 100
- Markup % = (salePrice − productCost) ÷ productCost × 100
- Break-even price = total costs ÷ quantity
Important assumptions
- All per-unit costs are multiplied by quantity to get total variable costs.
- Fixed costs are added once per batch, not per unit, then divided for per-unit views.
- Taxes and platform marketplace fees are not included unless you add them into per-unit costs.
- Marketing cost per unit should be your blended ad spend divided by units expected from that spend for this scenario.
- Break-even price assumes you spread fixed costs across the quantity entered.
- This is a pre-tax profit view unless you include tax in costs.
