How this tool works
Revenue is selling price multiplied by quantity. Cost of goods is unit cost multiplied by quantity. Transport, packaging, platform fees and other expenses are added on top as fixed costs for the batch.
Margin is profit divided by revenue. Markup is profit divided by total costs. Break-even units divides your fixed costs by the contribution per unit (price minus unit cost).
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between margin and markup?
- Margin is profit as a percentage of revenue. Markup is profit as a percentage of cost. A 50% markup is only a 33% margin.
- Should I include my own time?
- If you pay yourself, add it under other expenses. Otherwise the profit figure overstates what the business actually earns.
- What does break-even units mean here?
- How many units you must sell for the contribution per unit to cover your fixed costs — transport, packaging, fees and other expenses.
