Q: Does this calculator include Etsy, Shopify or Amazon fees automatically?

No. Enter the percentage and flat fees that apply to your own sales channel because fee schedules vary by platform, plan and country.

Q: How does the calculator handle refunds or reprints?

The return or reprint percentage creates an expected allowance based on production and POD shipping cost for planning purposes.

Q: What is maximum ad spend per sale?

It is the estimated advertising cost per order at which per-order profit reaches zero, assuming the other calculator inputs remain unchanged.

How the Print on Demand Profit Calculator Works

The calculator starts with what the customer pays, subtracts product and fulfillment costs, marketplace and payment fees, advertising, expected return/reprint allowance, and then applies monthly fixed costs to your sales volume.

Add Revenue

Enter your selling price and any shipping amount charged to the customer.

Add Every Cost

Include production, supplier shipping, platform fees, payment fees, ad cost and expected returns.

Check Real Margin

Review profit per order, monthly profit, break-even price, maximum ad spend and target-margin pricing.

Net profit per order = (Selling price + shipping charged) − production cost − POD shipping − percentage fees − flat fee − ad cost − return/reprint allowance
