Formula Used

Gross Product Revenue = Quantity × Selling Price per Unit

Net Product Revenue = Gross Product Revenue − Order Discount

Total Revenue Collected = Net Product Revenue + Shipping Charged + Tax Collected

Payment Gateway Fee = ((Net Product Revenue + Shipping Charged) × Gateway %) + Fixed Fee

Marketplace Fee = Net Product Revenue × Marketplace Fee %

Total Costs = COGS + Shipping Cost + Packaging + Gateway Fee + Marketplace Fee + Ad Cost + Tax Remitted + Return Allowance + Other Costs

Net Profit = Total Revenue Collected − Total Costs

Profit Margin % = (Net Profit ÷ Total Revenue Collected) × 100

Breakeven Unit Price = (Total Costs − Shipping Charged − Tax Collected + Discount) ÷ Quantity

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does this calculator measure?

It estimates true order profitability by combining revenue, discounts, shipping, fees, taxes, returns, and other costs. This shows whether one order made money or lost money.

2. Why include shipping charged and shipping cost separately?

Shipping charged is revenue from the customer. Actual shipping cost is your fulfillment expense. Tracking both separately reveals whether shipping helps margins or reduces profitability.

3. Should tax collected count as profit?

Usually no. Tax collected is often passed through to authorities. This calculator shows the cash flow effect and also includes tax remitted, helping you see the true business outcome.

4. What is return allowance?

Return allowance is a reserve for expected returns, defects, or damage. Adding it gives a more realistic profit estimate, especially for categories with frequent refunds.

5. What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin compares profit to revenue. Markup compares profit to total cost. Both are useful, but margin is often better for sales analysis and pricing reviews.

6. Can I use this for marketplace orders?

Yes. Enter the marketplace commission in the fee percentage field. You can also add channel-specific ad spend, packaging costs, and return reserves for more accurate results.

7. Why is breakeven unit price important?

Breakeven unit price shows the minimum selling price needed to cover costs for the order setup entered. It helps when planning pricing, discounts, and shipping offers.

8. How often should I review order profitability?

Review it regularly, especially after price changes, carrier increases, fee updates, or campaign launches. Small cost shifts can turn profitable orders into loss-making orders.
