Target price = fixed costs / (1 - fee rate - target margin).

The formula assumes percentage fees are charged on the final selling price.

How to use this calculator

Use Product Pricing Calculator before listing, reordering, or launching ads. Start with conservative costs, then test how price and fees change profit.

  • Enter one product or order model.
  • Replace default rates with your actual account rates.
  • Compare net profit, margin, and break-even outputs.
  • Use related calculators for deeper platform-specific checks.

Formula

Product Pricing Calculator follows a simple seller economics model: revenue minus product cost, shipping, platform fees, payment fees, advertising, and other order-level costs.

  • Revenue is based on selling price and buyer-paid charges.
  • Costs include product, shipping, fees, ads, and overhead where relevant.
  • Margin is net profit divided by revenue.
  • Break-even metrics estimate the point where profit reaches zero.

Example workflow

A seller can enter a target price, product cost, shipping cost, and fee rate, then compare profit margin before deciding whether the item deserves more research.

  • Check the default result first.
  • Change product cost or fee rate to match your supplier and marketplace.
  • Try a higher and lower selling price.
  • Use the result to reject weak products faster.

Common mistakes

The most common issue is treating marketplace revenue as profit. Product Pricing Calculator helps expose hidden costs before they become expensive inventory mistakes.

  • Forgetting shipping, returns, or ad costs.
  • Using a generic fee rate for every category.
  • Ignoring fixed fees on low-priced products.
  • Making sourcing decisions before checking break-even price.

FAQ

Why does target price rise quickly at high margins?

Because percentage fees and margin both take a share of selling price. High target margins require more price headroom.

Should ad cost be included?

Include ad cost when you want a first-order net price. Leave it at 0 for organic or wholesale pricing checks.
