Breakdown

Formula

  • Gross sales = Price * Units
  • Refund total = min(Refunded orders * Average refund amount, Gross sales)
  • Gross after refunds = Gross sales - Refund total
  • Fees = Gross sales * Platform fee % + Units * Fixed fee (calculated on ORIGINAL units; this matches Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, and similar platforms where refunds do not return processing fees. For Etsy Shop Manager refunds within 180 days, reconcile the credited fees against your Etsy Payment account or adjust the fee inputs to reflect net fees after credits)
  • Costs = Cost per sale * Units + Ad spend + Other monthly fixed costs
  • Profit before tax = Gross after refunds - Fees - Costs
  • Tax set-aside = max(0, Profit before tax) * Tax %
  • Net pocket = Profit before tax - Tax set-aside
  • Net margin = Net pocket / Gross after refunds (or 'Not meaningful' if Gross after refunds <= 0)
