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 Society6-controlled base price and product discount fixed while varying artist markup.
- 2Calculate net artist earnings after any selected marketplace commission, plan allocation, and other costs.
- 3Find the lowest markup within the planning range that reaches the target dollar earning.
- 4Find the lowest markup that reaches the target margin on discounted base, then use the higher requirement.
- 5Show the recommended markup beside the platform-controlled base price so the decision stays grounded in the product economics.
Formulas
- Discounted base = base price − min(base price, base price × productDiscount% + productDiscountAmount)
- Artist markup earnings = discounted base × markup%
- Net earning = artist markup earnings − marketplace commission − plan allocation − other costs
- Markup for target earning = (target earning + marketplace commission + plan allocation + other costs) ÷ discounted base × 100
- Markup for target margin = (target margin × discounted base + marketplace commission + plan allocation + other costs) ÷ discounted base × 100
- Recommended markup = higher of the two goal markups
Important assumptions
- Society6 controls the base price and the solve changes artist markup only.
- Target earning is a dollar amount per order. Target margin is measured against the discounted Society6 base, after marketplace, plan, and other costs.
- The current markup is a reference point, while maximum planning markup is a search ceiling you choose. It does not establish what every account or plan permits.
- Third-party commission applies only when the marketplace-sale toggle is on. Plan cost is allocated across expected monthly orders and remains an editable scenario because plan terms can change.
- Shipping promotion is shown separately and does not reduce artist earnings in the default model. Clearance days, payout method, and threshold are context inputs.
- The recommendation is the lowest markup within the planning range that reaches both goals. Verify product, account, marketplace, and payout terms before changing a live setting.
