Guide and Formula

E-Commerce Profit Calculator

Calculate your real net profit after accounting for all costs including platform fees.

Profit Formula:

\text{Net Profit} = \text{Sale Price} - (\text{Product Cost} + \text{Platform Fees} + \text{Other Costs})

Hidden Costs in E-Commerce

Platform Commission: 5-20% depending on platform
Payment Gateway: 2-3% per transaction
Shipping: Can eat into margins significantly
Packaging: Often overlooked but adds up
Returns: Reverse logistics costs
Marketing/Ads: Customer acquisition cost

Profit Margin

\text{Profit Margin} = \frac{\text{Net Profit}}{\text{Sale Price}} \times 100

Tip

Keep profit margin above 20-25% to sustain the business after accounting for all hidden costs.
