Gross profit versus net profit
Gross profit subtracts product cost from revenue. Net profit goes further by including expenses such as delivery, ads, tax, processing fees and other operating costs.
Profit margin versus markup
Profit margin compares profit to selling price. Markup compares profit to cost. They are related, but they are not the same percentage.
How to calculate selling price
To target a margin, estimate your total cost per item and divide it by one minus the desired margin. The target price mode does this for you.
Break-even quantity
Break-even quantity estimates how many units you need to sell before revenue covers fixed costs and per-item costs.
Limitations
This calculator provides estimates. It is not accounting, tax or financial advice, and it does not replace proper bookkeeping.
