Offer Profit Calculator

Check whether a sale, coupon, bundle discount, or limited-time offer still leaves profit once fees, costs, and ads are subtracted from the offer price.

Enter every amount in the same currency. This selector only changes the symbol shown — it does not convert exchange rates.

The offer still leaves healthy profit.

Short example

A $30.00 product at 20% off sells for $24.00. After $8.00 cost, $1.00 packaging, $5.00 shipping, and ~$2.70 fees, profit is about $7.30 per sale.

All calculations are estimates based on average platform fees. Real profits may vary depending on category, ads, and shipping.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter your numbers in each field above — the calculator updates instantly as you type, so there's nothing to submit.
  2. Use your real figures when you have them, or sensible estimates while you're planning. If a field doesn't apply, leave it at zero.
  3. Compare the results, then change one input at a time to see how each lever (price, cost, fees, volume) moves the outcome.

Formula

Offer price = Regular × (1 − Discount%) OR Regular − Discount$ OR Entered price · Revenue = Offer × Qty · Fees = Revenue × Fee% + Fixed × Qty · Profit = Revenue − ((Cost + Packaging + Shipping + Ads) × Qty + Fees)

Worked example

$30 regular, 20% off, $8 cost, $1 packaging, $5 shipping, 10% + $0.30 fees, 1 unit.

  1. Offer price = $24
  2. Fees = 2.40 + 0.30 = $2.70
  3. Costs = 8 + 1 + 5 + 2.70 = $16.70
  4. Profit = 24 − 16.70 = $7.30

Answer: ≈ $7.30 profit (30.4% margin)

How it works

Offers reduce revenue but not fixed costs — fees still apply on the discounted price. Running the math before you launch prevents 'popular but unprofitable' sales.

How to interpret your results

  • Dollar values are shown per sale, per order, or per item unless a result is explicitly labelled monthly, weekly, or daily.
  • Percentages (margin, ROI, conversion rate) are easier to compare across products and price points than raw dollars — use them when you benchmark.
  • A positive result means you're ahead after the costs and fees you entered. A negative result means the current numbers don't work — change a lever (raise price, cut a cost, lower ad spend) and recalculate.
  • Treat the output as a planning estimate, not a guarantee. Fees, taxes, and conversion rates shift over time — re-run the numbers whenever a key input changes.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming fees drop proportionally to the discount — they don't shrink the fixed transaction fee.
  • Forgetting ad cost per sale when the offer is ad-driven.
  • Setting a fixed offer price below cost 'to move volume'.

FAQ

What's a safe discount range?
Anything that keeps margin above ~15% is generally healthy. Below that, one refund can wipe out the sale.
Can I model a bundle?
Yes — use the total bundle price as the regular price, the bundle discount as the discount, and set quantity to the number of bundles sold.
