Definition and method

What this calculator answers

See what one order leaves after the product, payment, marketplace, shipping and other per-order costs you entered.

Amount left from one order

Subtract product cost, payment fees, marketplace fees, delivery paid by the business and the other per-order costs entered from the selling price. The result is per-order contribution before wages and other fixed costs, not final net profit.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as "per order" cost?

Per-order cost is everything that scales with a single sale: the product itself, payment processing, marketplace commission, outbound shipping, packaging, and any fixed-fee add-ons. Rent, salaried staff, and tool subscriptions are NOT per order — those go to overhead.

How do I find each per-order cost?

Add your last 30 days of payment processor statements, marketplace fee breakdowns, shipping invoices, and COGS — then divide by the order count in that same window. The shape you get is what each new order costs you today.

Should I enter a fixed payment fee?

Enter a fixed payment fee only when it applies to the transactions being modelled. Use the processor’s current statement or contract for the percentage and fixed components rather than a generic processor example.

What if my net per order is negative?

Net-negative per-order means the unit fee shape exceeds the sale price at this volume — every new order deepens the loss. The fix is to raise price, cut one of the per-order costs (carrier rate, processor, marketplace), or stop selling at this unit cost.
