Why Use Selling Price Calculator?

In e-commerce and dropshipping, combining your product costs, operational fees, and desired profit into a single, strategic price is crucial. Price too low, and you’ll lose money; price too high, and you might lose customers. This calculator solves the complex pricing puzzle for you by using the Margin-Based Pricing method.

It automatically accounts for all costs—including fees that are based on the selling price, like the Transaction Fee Rate—to ensure the final price precisely achieves your Desired Profit Margin in dropshipping.

Calculate Your Optimal Selling Price in Three Steps

Just enter up to seven numbers to get a selling price that protects your profit.

Step 1: Enter Your Core Costs (Required Fields)

This is the foundation of your price. You must provide the following:

  • Product Cost: The actual cost to you for acquiring or manufacturing one unit of the product.
  • Shipping Cost: The cost to ship a single product from you (or your supplier) to the customer.
  • Desired Profit Margin: The percentage of the sale revenue you want to keep as profit (e.g., enter 30 for 30%). Note: This is your net profit margin—the revenue left after all costs and fees are deducted.

Step 2: Enter Your Optional Costs (Optional Fields)

These are often called “indirect costs,” and they will be factored into your total cost:
  • Tax Cost: The allocated tax amount per unit.
  • Marketing Cost: The allocated advertising and marketing expense required to acquire one customer or sale.
  • Overhead Cost: Costs like warehouse rent or software subscriptions, allocated to each unit.
  • Transaction Fee Rate: The percentage-based fee charged by your e-commerce platform or payment processor (like PayPal or Stripe) (e.g., enter 2.9 for 2.9%).

Step 3: Click "Calculate" to See Your Results

Click the “Calculate Selling Price” button.

1. Recommended Selling Price: This price is tailor-made for you—it covers your Total Cost, pays the platform’s transaction fees, and secures your target profit.

2. Pricing Summary: See a breakdown of your total cost, the estimated transaction fees, and the actual profit amount you will earn.

3. Price Breakdown Chart: Get a visual understanding of how your selling price is distributed: how much goes to costs, how much covers fees, and how much is pure profit.

Important Note: Understanding the Core Formula

This calculator uses the following precise formula to ensure your profit is guaranteed:
$$ \text{Selling Price} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{1 - (\text{Desired Profit Margin} + \text{Transaction Fee Rate})} $$
Critical Risk Warning: The calculator will show an error if your “Desired Profit Margin” and “Transaction Fee Rate” add up to 100% or more. This is because it is mathematically impossible for a product’s selling price to cover costs that are equal to or greater than itself. In this situation, you will need to lower one or both of these percentages.

FAQs

This tool calculates the optimal selling price of your product by combining all costs—product cost, shipping, taxes, marketing, transaction fees, overhead—and your desired profit margin.

It ensures your final selling price actually delivers the exact profit margin you want, even when fees are percentage-based.

You must enter:

  • Product Cost

  • Shipping Cost

  • Desired Profit Margin (%)

These form the core cost structure.
All other fields (tax rate, marketing cost, overhead cost, transaction fee rate) are optional but recommended for accurate pricing.

The tool uses a margin-based pricing formula that accounts for:

  • Fixed costs (product, shipping, overhead)

  • Percentage-based fees (platform fees, payment transaction fees)

  • Taxes

  • Your target profit margin

It ensures the final selling price is high enough to cover all costs and still hit your desired net profit margin.

Profit Margin (used by the calculator):
Percentage of the selling price that becomes your profit.
Example: Profit / Selling Price.

Markup:
Percentage added on top of your total cost.
Example: Profit / Total Cost.

Your results will show both margin and markup so you can better understand your pricing strategy.

No problem—those costs simply won’t be included.
You’ll still receive a recommended selling price, but it may not reflect:

  • Ad cost per unit

  • Overhead expenses

  • Taxes

  • Payment processing fees

For the most accurate pricing, it’s best to fill in all fields.

Typical net margins in dropshipping:

  • 10–20% → common for lower-ticket items

  • 20–40% → healthy, sustainable profit range

  • 40%+ → usually requires strong branding or premium positioning

Remember: Higher profit margin requires a higher selling price, which may affect conversions.
