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
- 1Calculate product cost, first-item shipping, additional-item shipping, marketing, and fixed store or processor costs.
- 2Apply discounts to the product price and add buyer-paid shipping only when that mode is selected.
- 3Apply provider, storefront, and payment percentages to the amount charged; apply the refund reserve to collected product sales.
- 4Solve for break-even, target-profit, and target-margin prices.
- 5Recommend the higher goal price, then recalculate projected profit and margin.
- 6Recalculate the solve after a $1 shipping increase and a one-point fee increase for sensitivity.
Formulas
- SPOD shipping = first-item shipping + additional shipping × (quantity − 1)
- Amount charged = price × quantity × (1 − discount%) + buyer shipping
- Price for profit = (fixed costs + target profit − buyer shipping contribution) ÷ price contribution
- Price for margin = (fixed costs + target margin × buyer shipping − buyer shipping contribution) ÷ margin contribution
- Recommended price = max(break-even, price for target profit, price for target margin)
- Price impact = recalculated price − current recommended price
Important assumptions
- SPOD provider economics are modeled as editable product and shipping costs. The separate SPOD provider-fee input starts at 0% and is not a claim that every account has identical terms.
- The $7.85 base, $3.57 first-item shipping, and $1.50 additional-item shipping values are illustrative basic-tee planning defaults only.
- The recommended price is the higher of the price needed for target profit and the price needed for target margin. A margin goal can be infeasible when fees and reserve consume too much of the sale.
- Storefront and payment percentages apply to the product charge and any separately collected buyer shipping. Fixed charges apply once per order.
- Discounts reduce the collected product price. The reserve is an operating allowance for refunds or replacements and remains editable.
- Use current SPOD product, shipping, storefront, and processor terms before publishing a live retail price.
