What's the most I can pay for this product?

It is the highest per-unit cost the operator can absorb at a chosen sale price and margin floor. Supplier quotes above this number fail the target margin before fees even land.

Maximum Product Cost

Variable fees (processor % + marketplace %) reduce the per-sale residual at the same rate as the target margin. A 5% marketplace commission and a 20% target margin together absorb 25% of the price — the cost ceiling keeps dropping as either goes up.

Maximum Product Cost

Use the calculated cost ceiling as a negotiation boundary under the entered sale price, margin target and fees. Convert it to a supplier-price ceiling only after including the landed-cost items that apply. A quote above the ceiling means the current scenario misses the target; repricing, renegotiation or rejection are separate options.

Maximum Product Cost

It means the price/margin/fee combination has no room for any cost at all — every cent of the price is already earmarked for fees and margin. Raise price, lower margin target, or trim a fee before sourcing a product.
