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 revenue from price times units sold.
- 2Calculate variable costs as per-unit costs times units.
- 3Calculate total costs as variable plus initial investment plus ad spend plus other costs.
- 4Calculate total investment as initial plus ad plus other for ROI denominator.
- 5Net profit = revenue minus total costs.
- 6ROI = net profit divided by total investment times 100.
- 7Contribution per unit = selling price minus product cost minus TikTok fees per unit.
- 8Payback units = total investment divided by contribution per unit.
- 9Payback months estimated as paybackUnits divided by monthly units, assuming unitsSold over current period represents monthly run rate if period = 1 month; otherwise scaled. For simplicity we assume unitsSold is for period and monthly run is unitsSold – user can adjust.
Formulas
- Revenue = sellingPrice × unitsSold
- Variable = (productCost + feesPerUnit) × unitsSold
- TotalCosts = variable + initialInvestment + adSpend + other
- Investment = initial + ad + other
- NetProfit = revenue − totalCosts
- ROI% = netProfit ÷ investment ×100
- ProfitPerUnit = netProfit ÷ unitsSold
- ContributionPerUnit = sellingPrice − productCost − feesPerUnit
- PaybackUnits = investment ÷ contributionPerUnit
Important assumptions
- Total revenue = sellingPrice × unitsSold.
- Total variable = (productCostPerUnit + tiktokFeesPerUnit) × unitsSold.
- Total costs = total variable + initialInvestment + adSpend + otherCosts.
- Total investment = initialInvestment + adSpend + otherCosts (excluding replenishment product cost already in variable).
- Net profit = total revenue − total costs.
- ROI % = net profit ÷ total investment ×100 when investment >0.
- Profit per unit = net profit ÷ unitsSold.
- Payback units = total investment ÷ contribution per unit when contribution >0.
