How the calculation works

NetPerSale uses the values you enter to estimate profit per sale. The formulas below match the current calculator engine.

Estimated profit per order

The calculator first determines the effective sale revenue. A seller-funded discount is deducted from the item price, never below zero, and any shipping charged to the buyer is then added.

Revenue = max(0, sale price − seller-funded discount) + shipping charged to buyer

Marketplace fees are calculated on the discounted item price. Payment fees are calculated on total revenue.

Platform cost = discounted item price × marketplace fee rate + revenue × payment fee rate

When monthly orders are greater than zero, monthly fixed costs are divided across those orders. Expected return loss is the expected return rate multiplied by the loss entered for one returned order.

Estimated profit = revenue − platform cost − product cost − seller-paid shipping − ad cost − packaging − other cost − tax reserve − allocated fixed cost − expected return loss

Margin is the estimated profit divided by revenue. If revenue is zero, the displayed margin is treated as zero.

Pricing and planning results

Break-even price

The minimum sale price at which estimated profit reaches zero under the current inputs.

Minimum price for target margin

The minimum sale price estimated to produce the target margin you entered while keeping the other inputs unchanged.

Maximum ad cost

The highest per-order advertising cost estimated to keep the selected target margin under the current revenue and non-ad costs. The calculator does not show a negative allowance; if there is no room for ad spend, it returns zero.

Monthly profit

When monthly orders are greater than zero, estimated profit per order is multiplied by the entered order count. Because monthly fixed costs are already allocated across those orders, the monthly fixed-cost amount is effectively deducted once across the monthly total.

About marketplace fee presets

Marketplace fee presets are reference values only. Actual rates can vary by country, category, seller level, contract terms, promotions, payment method and platform policy. For the most accurate estimate, enter the rate shown in your own seller dashboard or agreement.
