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
- 1Orders with free shipping = round(avgMonthlyOrders × percentQualify/100).
- 2Orders with paid shipping = avgMonthlyOrders − freeShipOrders.
- 3Free shipping fulfillment cost = freeOrders × (actualShippingCost + packagingCost).
- 4Paid shipping fulfillment cost = paidOrders × (actualShippingCost + packagingCost).
- 5Shipping revenue collected = paidOrders × shippingPaidByCustomer.
- 6Total fulfillment cost = freeCost + paidCost.
- 7Net shipping cost = totalFulfillmentCost − paidShippingRevenue.
- 8Cost per order = netShippingCost / avgMonthlyOrders when orders > 0.
Formulas
- FreeOrders = round(orders × qualify%)
- PaidOrders = orders − freeOrders
- FreeCost = freeOrders × (carrier + pack)
- PaidCost = paidOrders × (carrier + pack)
- ShippingRevenue = paidOrders × charge
- TotalFulfillment = freeCost + paidCost
- NetShipping = TotalFulfillment − ShippingRevenue
- CostPerOrder = NetShipping / totalOrders
Important assumptions
- Orders qualifying = avgMonthlyOrders × percentOrdersQualify/100 rounded.
- Free shipping total cost = qualifying orders × (carrier + packaging).
- Paid shipping total cost = non-qualifying orders × (carrier + packaging).
- Net shipping cost = total carrier+pack cost − shipping fees collected on non-qualifying orders.
- Does not include returns or dimensional weight surcharges unless added to carrier cost.
Worked example
