What this tool does

Shipping Profit Calculator is for seller economics, not freight planning. It deliberately treats shipping charged to the buyer as revenue and actual shipping paid by the seller as a distinct cost.

  • Shipping RevenueThe shipping amount charged to the buyer.
  • Actual Shipping CostThe delivery expense paid by the seller.
  • Shipping Gain / LossBuyer shipping charge minus actual shipping cost.
  • Net ProfitOrder profit after every entered cost.

Formula & assumptions

Total Revenue = Product Selling Price + Shipping Charged to Buyer; Net Profit = Total Revenue − actual shipping, product, packaging, percentage fee, advertising and other costs.

  • Shipping charged to the buyer and seller-paid actual shipping are deliberately separate values.
  • Marketplace / Payment Fees are modeled as one seller-entered effective percentage of total revenue.
