A pricing and profit calculator helps e-commerce sellers and independent store owners understand their true costs and calculate accurate profit margins.

Product pricing: determine the optimal selling price for new products. Profit analysis: understand your true profit margin after all costs. ROI calculation: measure return on marketing spend. Price testing: compare different price points to find the sweet spot. Business planning: forecast profitability and set pricing strategies.
Enter all your cost inputs on the left side 鈥?product cost, shipping, CAC, platform commission, payment fees, return rate, and other costs. Enter your target selling price. The calculator instantly shows your profit per order, profit margin percentage, and break-even price. Scroll down to see the cost breakdown and compare profitability at different price points.
A good gross profit margin for e-commerce is typically 30-40%. However, this varies by niche 鈥?fashion and accessories can have 50%+ margins, while electronics may be 15-25%. Net profit margin (after all expenses including marketing) of 10-15% is considered healthy for most e-commerce businesses.
Break-even price is the minimum price needed to cover all costs. The formula is: Break-even = Fixed Costs / (1 - Variable Rate), where fixed costs are product cost, shipping, CAC, fixed fees, and return costs, and variable rate is the total percentage of revenue that goes to variable fees (platform commission + payment percentage).
Include all costs: product cost, shipping, packaging, customer acquisition (ads), platform fees, payment processing, returns/refunds, customer service, and overhead. Many sellers only consider product + shipping and underestimate their true costs, leading to disappointing profits.
Returns significantly impact profitability. A 10% return rate means 1 in 10 sales comes back, and you lose the shipping cost both ways plus restocking costs. The calculator factors in return rate by adding the expected cost of returns to your per-order cost. Reducing returns is often more impactful than increasing sales.
It depends on your product and market. Higher prices give better margins per sale but lower volume. Lower prices drive more volume but thinner margins. Use the price comparison table to test different scenarios. For most products, there's a sweet spot where price 脳 volume 脳 margin is maximized. Test with small price adjustments to find yours.
