How to use this Shipping Cost Calculator
Enter your sale price, platform fees, payment fees, shipping, and product costs. The result estimates the unit economics of one order or transaction.
Formula
Shipping should be reviewed alongside product price. A small undercharge can erase profit on low-margin orders.
FAQ
What does this calculator estimate?
Estimate shipping cost per order using base cost, weight, distance surcharge, packaging, and insurance.
What formula does it use?
Shipping Cost = Base Cost + Weight Cost + Zone Surcharge + Packaging + Insurance
Should I use this for exact tax or accounting?
No. This is a planning calculator. Marketplace rules, tax treatment, refunds, and category-specific fees can change your actual payout.
Why does profit differ from my platform payout?
Payouts often exclude product cost, inbound shipping, packaging, ads, returns, chargebacks, and other operating costs. This calculator estimates unit economics, not a full accounting statement.
