READ THE RESULT

Marketplace fees reduce your actual sale proceeds.

Compare net proceeds with product cost and other business expenses before deciding whether a sale is profitable.

1

Start with actual sale price

Use the amount on which marketplace commission is charged.

2

Include every relevant charge

Add percentage commission, flat fees, seller-paid shipping and other per-order charges.

3

Compare with product cost

Net proceeds minus unit cost shows the modeled contribution.

Price - percentage fee - fixed fee - other costs

What does net proceeds mean?

Net proceeds is the sale price left after the modeled marketplace and order-related charges. It is not net profit unless all relevant costs are included.

Commission is percentage-basedFixed fees affect small orders moreUnit cost determines profit after charges

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

A few things worth knowing before you judge the result.

Are marketplace fee rates the same everywhere?

No. Fees vary by platform, product category, country and seller agreement. Enter your current contract rates.

Does net proceeds include GST or sales tax?

No. Enter consistent tax-exclusive prices and costs and handle marketplace tax rules separately.

Can fees exceed the sale price?

Yes, in which case net proceeds is negative. The calculator shows the loss.

Can I compare channels?

Use individual calculations or save scenarios in your MPPM workspace for comparison.
