Calculation breakdown
- Profit per order
- Sale price − Product cost − Fees − Shipping − Packaging
Worked example
A $70 order with $25 product cost, $7 fees, $6 shipping and $2 packaging leaves $30 profit per order.
Assumptions
- A negative result means the order loses money before overheads.
- Packaging and inserts are a real per-order cost worth including.
- This is a per-unit figure, not overall business profit.
How this calculator works
Subtract product cost, marketplace or payment fees, shipping you cover and packaging cost from your sale price to see profit on a single order. This is a core unit-economics check before scaling ad spend or inventory.
Frequently asked questions
Should I include packaging costs?
Yes, packaging and any inserts are a real per-order cost and should be included for an accurate profit figure.
How does this differ from gross profit margin?
This shows the dollar profit on one order specifically, which is useful for per-unit decisions like whether to run a discount.
What if my profit per order is negative?
A negative result means the order is losing money before overheads — review your pricing, fees or shipping cost recovery.
