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 editable product and print assumptions fixed while varying retail price.
- 2Subtract effective base cost, refund or chargeback reserve, and external payout cost.
- 3Search for the lowest retail price that reaches both target earnings and target margin.
- 4Show payout progress using the available share and expected monthly fulfilled orders.
Formulas
- Effective base cost = base cost + print adjustment − volume discount
- Projected earnings = retail price − effective base cost − retail × refund rate − fixed reserves − external payout cost
- Price for target earnings = (target earnings + fixed costs) ÷ (1 − refund rate)
- Price for target margin = fixed costs ÷ (1 − refund rate − target margin)
- Recommended price = higher of the two goal prices
Important assumptions
- Spring creators set retail price, so this solve changes the customer price rather than a platform-controlled base price.
- The $10 T-shirt base cost, double-sided adjustment, volume discount, refund reserve, and external payout cost are editable planning inputs.
- The recommended price is the lowest price that reaches both target earnings and target retail margin under the selected assumptions.
- Shipping is buyer-facing and not included as creator income. A $25 threshold and monthly cutoff context are editable planning values.
- Verify current product, payout, refund, currency, and regional terms before acting.
