Net Profit = Revenue − COGS − Shipping − Ad Spend − Overhead − (Revenue × Fee %)

FAQ

What should I include in COGS?

Anything directly tied to each unit sold: product purchase or manufacturing cost, inbound freight, duties, and unit-level packaging.

Why are payment fees calculated as a percentage?

Most processors (Stripe, PayPal, Shopify Payments) charge a percentage of each sale plus a small fixed fee. Using your effective average rate keeps the estimate accurate without per-order data.
