Worked example

Percentage fees: $45 × 3% = $1.35.

Contribution: $45 − $12 − $5 − $6 − $1.35 − $0.30 − $4 = $16.35 per order.

Contribution margin: $16.35 ÷ $45 = 36.3%.

These are example assumptions, not a marketplace fee schedule. Contribution excludes overhead, income taxes, refunds and discounts. Include additional costs before making a business decision.

Before you set your price

  1. Measure production and packing time.
  2. Use current supplier prices.
  3. Check your provider’s actual fee terms.
  4. Compare estimates against real orders.
