How are returns modeled?

Expected retained revenue is reduced by the return rate, while expected handling cost and recovery value are weighted by that same rate.

Why can I change the fee base?

Marketplace and payment fee refund rules differ. Choose gross order value or expected retained revenue based on the agreement being modeled.

Does it use live marketplace fees?

No. Every fee is entered manually.

About the E-commerce Product Profit Calculator

E-commerce Product Profit Calculator models expected contribution profit for one placed order. It separates selling price, product and inbound costs, packaging, marketplace and payment fees, fulfillment, outbound shipping, advertising and other variable costs.

Expected returns are modeled through refunded revenue, return handling cost and recoverable product value. Choose whether percentage fees apply to gross order value or expected retained revenue, then review contribution margin, break-even selling price and volume extensions.

The model does not calculate accounting net income, recoverable taxes or official marketplace settlements. Confirm fee refund treatment, return recovery and tax handling against current agreements and records.
