Start from what you want to keep — a net payout, a profit or a margin — and get the exact price to ask on every platform, with the break-even price and the price cliffs where asking more leaves you less.The price to ask for your profit goal.
Fees depend on the price, and on several platforms on a total that includes shipping and the buyer’s sales tax, so the price can’t be found by adding a percentage. The calculator solves it exactly for each platform.
Every platform uses its own fee base, shipping model, minimums and your account settings, from the same engine as the fee calculators. Each fee is rounded to the cent, then added.
