What is this tool?
The Profit Margin Calculator helps online sellers determine their net profit and margin percentage after accounting for product costs, marketplace fees, and shipping. It is essential for ensuring every product you sell is actually making money.
Formula used
Margin = ((Selling Price - Total Cost) / Selling Price) × 100 Net Profit = Selling Price - Total Cost
Example calculation
If you sell a product for $49, your product cost is $20, fees are $5, and shipping is $4. Your total cost is $29. Net Profit = $49 - $29 = $20. Margin = ($20 / $49) × 100 = 40.81%.
When should sellers use it?
Use this tool when launching a new product, updating your pricing, or reviewing your catalog to ensure you maintain healthy profitability across your business.
Common mistakes
A common mistake is confusing margin with markup. Margin is the percentage of the selling price that is profit, while markup is the percentage added to the cost price.
