About This Tool
Selling Price Calculator helps you estimate a target selling price after shipping, taxes, and marketplace fees without leaving the browser.
Use this price calculator to determine the required selling price of an item in an online marketplace so that you achieve your desired profit. Target profit or return can be set to a profit in dollars, a margin percentage or a markup percentage.
This page opens with a focused preset flow. Keep target type set to Profit Amount. Keep target margin / profit set to 10. Keep item cost set to 25.
What This Tool Does
The selling price calculator is built for people who want a fast answer and a clearer understanding of what affects the final output.
It works best when you enter realistic values for Target Type, Target Margin / Profit, Item Cost, Shipping Paid. If the tool includes select boxes or toggles, choose the scenario that matches your use case before you calculate.
This calculator will be most useful for merchants that have costs associated with a per transaction fee when selling items through an online marketplace such as Etsy, eBay or Amazon and using a credit card processing service like PayPal to process payments. If you are using an ecommerce platform service that charges a monthly fee instead of a per transaction fee you'll need to forecast your sales and how that fee is distributed on a per item cost basis then enter that amount under fixed selling fees.
Helpful variable notes from the matched source page: Profit: Gross Profit; The amount of money earned after Cost has been paid. Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost. Revenue is amount received from the buyer less the Taxes.; Margin: Gross Profit Margin; A percentage expressed as a ratio of gross profit to the revenue. Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Revenue.; Cost: Expense incurred to produce and distribute the item. Total Cost = Item Cost + Shipping Cost + Selling Cost + Transaction Cost.
