E-commerce Profit Calculator
Calculate your estimated profit, total costs, and profit margin for your e-commerce sales.
Formulas
Revenue = Orders ร Selling price per order
Net profit = Revenue โ (Product costs + Shipping + Fees + Ad spend)
Profit margin = Net profit รท Revenue ร 100
Example
100 orders at $50 = $5,000 revenue. Product cost $20 per order ($2,000), shipping $5 per order ($500), total fees $3, ad spend $800. Total costs $3,303, so net profit is $1,697, a 33.94% margin and $16.97 per order.
How to use it
- Pick your currency.
- Enter the number of orders and the average selling price per order.
- Enter product cost and shipping cost per order.
- Enter total payment/platform fees and total ad spend for the period.
- Select Calculate Profit.
What's not included
Taxes, refunds and returns, salaries, rent, software subscriptions and other overheads are not added automatically. Add them to the fees field as a total if you want them counted. For the ad-specific question โwhat ROAS do I need?โ, use the break-even ROAS calculator.
Scenario: the effect of shipping
Using the example above (100 orders at $50, $20 product cost, $800 ads): with $5 shipping per order, net profit is $1,697. If you switch to free shipping and absorb $8 per order, shipping costs rise to $800 and profit falls to $1,397, unless free shipping lifts orders. Each extra order now adds $22 ($50 โ $20 โ $8), so you’d need about 14 extra orders to recover the $300. Running scenarios like this before changing prices or shipping policy is the main point of the calculator.
Cash vs profit
Profit here is a period estimate. Your bank balance can differ because of stock bought in advance, payout delays from marketplaces, and refunds that arrive after the period. Track both.
