    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

    1. 1CombinedRate = platformFeePercent + processingPercent + backOfficePercent + currencyConversionPercent + otherFeePercent.
    2. 2FixedPerSale = processingFixed + otherCostPerSale.
    3. 3PlanCostPerSale = monthlyPlanCost ÷ expectedMonthlySales when sales are greater than zero.
    4. 4PriceForTargetNet = (targetNetPerSale + FixedPerSale + PlanCostPerSale) ÷ (1 − CombinedRate).
    5. 5PriceForTargetMargin = (FixedPerSale + PlanCostPerSale) ÷ (1 − CombinedRate − targetMarginPercent).
    6. 6NetAtChosenPrice subtracts percentage fees, fixed costs, and plan allocation from currentPrice.

    Formulas

    • Rate = platform% + processing% + BackOffice% + conversion% + other%
    • Fixed = processing fixed + other cost per sale
    • Plan allocation = monthly plan cost ÷ expected sales
    • Price for net = (target net + fixed + plan allocation) ÷ (1 − rate)
    • Price for margin = (fixed + plan allocation) ÷ (1 − rate − target margin)
    • Chosen net = price − (price × rate + fixed + plan allocation)

    Important assumptions

    • PriceForTargetNet = (target net + fixed per-sale costs + plan allocation) ÷ (1 − combined percentage fees).
    • PriceForTargetMargin = (fixed per-sale costs + plan allocation) ÷ (1 − combined percentage fees − target margin).
    • Plan allocation equals monthly plan cost ÷ expected monthly sales. With zero sales, it is shown as zero for a per-sale illustration rather than infinity.
    • Starter uses a 7.5% base platform-fee starting assumption. Builder, Growth, and Custom use 0% base platform fee starting assumptions in the researched model, while processing remains separate.
    • BackOffice, processing, currency conversion, plan prices, custom gateway charges, taxes, and refunds vary. Edit the fields to match your arrangement.
