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
- 1Hold the Redbubble base price fixed and vary artist markup.
- 2Calculate markup earnings, excess-markup fee, platform fee, account allocation, and other costs.
- 3Search markup until target earning and target margin are both reached.
- 4Report the resulting retail price and the higher markup requirement.
Formulas
- Retail = base × (1 + markup% ÷ 100)
- Artist margin = base × markup% ÷ 100
- Net earnings = markup earnings − excess fee − platform fee − account allocation − other costs
- Recommended markup = lowest markup meeting target earning and target retail margin
Important assumptions
- Base price is controlled by Redbubble. The solve changes artist markup, not the base price.
- Standard, Premium, and Pro defaults are 50%, 20%, and 0% platform fee on earnings remaining after excess-markup treatment.
- Standard and Premium use an editable 20% excess threshold and 50% fee by default; Pro skips the excess fee in this model.
- Markup defaults conflict between 10% and 20% in public references, so verify your dashboard.
- The solve finds the lowest markup that reaches both target earning and target margin. Buyer-paid shipping remains separate.
