Price Increase Calculator

Calculate a new price after a percent or dollar increase, and see how much extra profit lands per unit and across expected quantity.

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

New price

$33.00

+$3.00

Profit per unit increase

$2.70

$18.70 → $21.40

Extra profit at qty

$270.00

100 units

New margin

64.8%

High Profit Potential
Raising the price from $30.00 to $33.00 adds $2.70 of profit per unit after fees. Across 100 units, that's $270.00.

Short example

A 10% bump on a $30.00 product = $33.00. After the 10% fee change, profit per unit rises by ~$2.70. On 100 units that's ~$270.00 extra.

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

New price = Current × (1 + Increase%) OR Current + Increase$ · Old profit = Price − Cost − (Price × Fee% + Fixed) · New profit = same for new price · Increase = New profit − Old profit

Worked example

$30 current, 10% increase, $8 cost, 10% + $0.30 fee, 100 units.

  1. New price = $33
  2. Old profit = 30 − 8 − 3.30 = $18.70
  3. New profit = 33 − 8 − 3.60 = $21.40
  4. +$2.70/unit × 100 = $270 extra

Answer: $33 new price; ~$270 extra profit on 100 units

How it works

A price increase looks scary, but most of it becomes profit — fees only grow by the fee % of the increase, not the full amount. That's why even a small bump can meaningfully lift margin.

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 don't grow with price — they do, but proportionally.
  • Rounding to a psychology-friendly number without checking margin.
  • Ignoring the effect on volume — pair with Before/After Price Change for that.

FAQ

How much can I raise the price?
Depends on demand. A 5–10% bump on non-commodity items rarely hurts volume; test in small steps.
How is this different from Before/After Price Change?
This one shows the profit lift assuming stable volume. Before/After models both the price and a new sales quantity.

Why trust this calculator?
