How to Read Your Results
Net profit per order shows what you keep from one average sale after direct costs and fees.
Profit margin helps compare products with different prices because it expresses profit as a percentage of revenue.
Total profit scales your per-order profit across the number of orders entered.
If the margin looks lower than expected, review shipping, fee rate, and ad spend first.
Assumptions & Important Notes
- Each example uses average costs per order rather than exact order-by-order records.
- The percentage fee is applied to sale price only.
- Inputs are simplified estimates for educational use.
- The examples do not separately include taxes, refunds, or exchange-rate costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good use for these Etsy profit examples?
They help you understand how different prices and costs affect profit before you change your listing price or ad budget.
Why do low-priced products often have lower margins?
Fixed fees, shipping, and packaging take up a larger percentage of revenue on cheaper items.
Can I use these examples for digital products?
Yes, but you would usually enter little or no shipping cost and adjust product cost to reflect your actual direct cost per sale.
Why does total profit depend on order count?
Total profit is simply per-order profit multiplied by the number of orders.
Should I run separate examples for each product?
Yes. Different products can have very different costs, shipping profiles, and ad performance.
