What the result means

Recommended price shows what you need to charge to reach the target margin after fees and variable selling costs.

Required Price = Total Fixed Cost ÷ (1 − Fee Rate − Target Margin). Break-even Price = Total Fixed Cost ÷ (1 − Fee Rate).

Benchmarks vary by product category, channel, fulfillment model, and customer segment. Use the result as a decision estimate, not accounting advice.

Example calculation

If total fixed cost is $43, fee rate is 15%, and target margin is 35%, recommended price is $86.

Tips for better results

  • Do not price only from competitor averages.
  • Include shipping and ad cost in pricing.
  • Test psychological price points.
  • Create premium positioning for higher prices.
  • Compare wholesale and retail margin separately.

FAQ

How do I price a physical product for profit?

Add product, fulfillment, packaging, ads, and fees, then divide by the remaining share after target margin and percentage fees.

What markup should I use for retail products?

Retail markup often ranges from 40–60% or higher, but markup must be checked against net margin after all selling costs.

How much should I charge after shipping costs?

Shipping should be included in your cost base or recovered through shipping revenue, free shipping thresholds, or higher product price.

Should I include marketplace fees in pricing?

Yes. Marketplace and payment fees reduce net revenue, so they must be included in price calculations.

What is the best pricing strategy for Shopify stores?

A strong Shopify pricing strategy balances margin, perceived value, competitor positioning, shipping threshold, and conversion rate.
