How to Read Your Results
Total fees combine transaction, processing, and listing fees only in this calculator.
Net profit is an estimate after direct costs and entered fees, not a full business profit statement.
Profit margin shows what share of order revenue remains after the included costs.
A higher selling price does not always mean better profit if direct costs rise too.
Shipping strategy can change both customer-facing pricing and your estimated margin.
Assumptions & Important Notes
- Each example uses the fee rates and fixed charges shown in its inputs.
- The transaction fee applies to the full order revenue entered.
- Product cost and shipping cost are treated as direct costs for that order.
- Optional charges such as ads, taxes, and currency conversion are not included.
