Margin Calculator (Free Tool)
The free Margin Calculator on the tools page is a real profitability engine that calculates your true profit per sale. Unlike simple calculators, it factors in product cost, shipping, ads, platform fees, and returns to give you a clear GO, PAUSE, or AVOID verdict - no account required.
What It Calculates
- Net profit per sale, Your actual take-home after all costs.
- Net margin percentage, Profit as a percentage of selling price.
- Gross profit & margin, Revenue minus cost of goods sold.
- Markup multiple, How many times your cost the selling price is.
- GO / PAUSE / AVOID verdict, A clear recommendation based on your margins.
