On a $25 item with $5 shipping that is $3.30 in fees, 11% of the order (rates checked 8 Nov 2026). Formula: Etsy fees = $0.20 + 6.5% × (price + shipping) + 3% × order total + $0.25 [+ Offsite Ads] [+ 2.5% conversion] Profit = (price + shipping) − Etsy fees − item cost − real shipping − packaging − ad spend Rates verified: 8 Nov 2026. Sources: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115014483627, https://help.etsy.com/hc/articles/115015628847 Q: How much does Etsy take from a $100 sale? A: In the US, with no shipping and no Offsite Ad, about $9.95: $0.20 listing, $6.50 transaction (6.5%) and $3.25 processing (3% + $0.25). That is roughly 10% of the sale. Q: Does Etsy charge fees on shipping? A: Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and the payment processing fee both include the shipping you charge the buyer. Q: Can I turn off Offsite Ads? A: Shops that made under $10,000 in the prior 365 days can opt out in their shop settings. Shops above that amount are always enrolled, but at the lower 12% rate. Q: Are these the fees for every country? A: The listing and transaction fees are the same everywhere, but payment processing rates depend on the country of your bank account, and some countries add a Regulatory Operating Fee. Pick your country and the calculator uses Etsy's published rate for it. You can still type your own rate under Advanced. Q: Do I pay Etsy fees on sales tax? A: Only the payment processing fee. Etsy's transaction fee, Regulatory Operating Fee and Offsite Ads fee (for US shops) are charged on the item price plus shipping, not on the tax. ## Etsy Pricing Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/etsy-pricing-calculator/ With US Etsy fees and no Offsite Ad, the order total you need is (target profit + your costs + $0.45) ÷ 0.905. For $10 profit on $11.30 of costs with free shipping, that is $24.03. Formula: Keep rate k = 1 − 6.5% − 3% [− Offsite Ads %] [− 2.5%] For a profit target: order total = (target profit + all costs + $0.20 + $0.25) ÷ k For a margin target: order total = (all costs + $0.20 + $0.25) ÷ (k − margin) Item price = order total − shipping charged Rates verified: 8 Nov 2026. Sources: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115014483627, https://help.etsy.com/hc/articles/115015628847 Q: Should I include Offsite Ads in my price? A: If your shop is enrolled, some of your sales will carry a 12–15% fee. Many sellers price for normal sales and keep enough margin to absorb it. The calculator shows the price for an Offsite Ad sale under every result, or choose the Offsite Ads option under Advanced to price for it. Q: Is the price before or after sales tax? A: Before. In the US, Etsy adds sales tax on top at checkout, collects it and pays it, so the price here is what you list. If your listing prices include VAT, the price shown includes it. Q: Is free shipping worth it on Etsy? A: Etsy gives US listings with free shipping some visibility benefits. The postage still costs you money, so put your real shipping cost in the calculator and leave 'shipping you charge' at 0. Q: Why is the margin I asked for 'not reachable'? A: Fees already take roughly 9.5% of every order, plus more with Offsite Ads. A margin target close to or above what remains cannot be reached, whatever the price. ## Etsy Offsite Ads Fee Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/etsy-offsite-ads-fee-calculator/ Etsy's Offsite Ads fee is 15% of the order total (12% once your shop has made $10,000 in a 365-day period), and never more than $100 per order. On a $30 order at 15% it is $4.50 (checked 8 Nov 2026). Formula: Offsite Ads fee = lower of (rate × order total) or $100 Order size where the cap starts = $100 ÷ rate ($666.67 at 15%, $833.33 at 12%) Rates verified: 8 Nov 2026. Sources: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000338367, https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115014483627 Q: Is the Offsite Ads fee charged on shipping? A: Etsy describes the fee as a share of the order total. This calculator uses the item price plus the shipping the buyer paid, the same order total used in our Etsy fee calculator. Check your Payment account for the exact amount on a real order. Q: Can I opt out of Offsite Ads? A: Only if your shop has never made $10,000 or more in a 365-day period. Once it has, participation is required for the life of the shop, at the lower 12% rate. Q: Do I pay for clicks that do not lead to a sale? A: No. You only pay when an order is attributed to an Offsite Ad. If the buyer's last click before buying was an Etsy Ad on Etsy, only the Etsy Ads cost applies, not the Offsite Ads fee. Q: Can one ad click lead to several fees? A: Yes. If the same buyer places more than one order within the 30-day window, each order can be charged its own fee, and each one is capped at $100. ## Etsy Free Shipping Price Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/etsy-shipping-calculator/ To offer free shipping on Etsy (US rates), add your postage ÷ 0.905 to the price, not just the postage: $4.97 for a $4.50 label, because Etsy's 6.5% and 3% fees are also charged on the amount you add. Formula: Keep rate k = 1 − 6.5% − 3% [− Offsite Ads %] [− 2.5% conversion] Amount to add = postage ÷ k New price = old price + amount to add Rates verified: 8 Nov 2026. Sources: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115014483627, https://help.etsy.com/hc/articles/115015628847 Q: Does Etsy charge fees on shipping? A: Yes. Etsy's help page says the 6.5% transaction fee applies to the item price plus shipping and gift wrap, and payment processing is taken from the total sale price including shipping and sales tax. With free shipping, the same fees are charged on the higher item price instead. Q: Is free shipping worth it on Etsy? A: Many buyers prefer a single all-in price. Whether it brings you more sales depends on your shop; this calculator makes sure free shipping does not cost you money when it does. Q: Why is the amount to add higher with Offsite Ads? A: The Offsite Ads fee is a percentage of the order total too, so it also takes a share of the amount you add. ## Etsy Digital Product Profit Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/etsy-digital-product-profit-calculator/ On an $8 digital download in the US, Etsy takes $1.21: $0.20 listing, $0.52 transaction (6.5%) and $0.49 processing (3% + $0.25), so you keep $6.79 per sale before any ads. Formula: Etsy fees = $0.20 + 6.5% × price + 3% × (price + tax) + $0.25 [+ Offsite Ads] [+ 2.5% conversion] Profit = price − Etsy fees − other costs − ad spend Rates verified: 8 Nov 2026. Sources: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115014483627, https://help.etsy.com/hc/articles/115015628847 Q: Does Etsy charge a listing fee on every digital sale? A: Etsy charges the $0.20 listing fee for each additional item sold from a multi-quantity listing. Digital listings normally sell many copies from one listing, so you pay $0.20 per sale. Q: Do I pay shipping fees on digital products? A: No. There is no shipping, so the transaction and processing fees are charged on the price (and processing also on any sales tax). Q: What is a good price for an Etsy printable? A: It depends on your niche and what similar listings charge. Use this calculator to make sure the price leaves a profit after Etsy's fees and any ad spend. ## Etsy Share & Save Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/etsy-share-and-save-calculator/ Etsy Share & Save refunds 4% of the eligible order total (item plus shipping and gift wrap, before tax) when the buyer came from your own shared link. Etsy's help page says enrolled sellers earn 6.5% from October 20 to January 4. On a $40 order that is $1.60 at 4% or $2.60 at 6.5% (checked 10 Nov 2026). Formula: Refund = rate × (item price + shipping) Etsy fees after refund = $0.20 + 6.5% × order + 3% × order + $0.25 − refund Rates verified: 10 Nov 2026. Sources: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/16981332744087 Q: How much does Etsy Share & Save give back? A: 4% of the eligible order total, according to Etsy's Help Center, raised to 6.5% from October 20 to January 4. On a $100 order including shipping, the standard refund is $4. Q: Is the refund worked out on shipping too? A: Yes. Etsy says it is calculated the same way as the transaction fee, which includes shipping and gift wrap but not tax. Q: Which links qualify for Share & Save? A: Your shop link in the form yourshopname.etsy.com and trackable links to listings and promo codes from Shop Manager. Links sent in Etsy Messages or placed in listing descriptions do not count. Q: Does Share & Save work with Offsite Ads? A: Not on the same order. Etsy tracks the last link clicked: if the buyer's last visit came from an Offsite Ad, the order is not eligible for Share & Save. Q: How long after the click does an order count? A: The buyer must place the order within 30 days of clicking your link. ## Etsy Ads Break-Even Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/etsy-ads-calculator/ Etsy Ads break even when cost per click = profit per order × conversion rate. With $12 profit per order and a 2.5% conversion rate, a click can cost at most $0.30; at $0.40 a click, each ad sale costs $16 in ads and loses $4. Formula: Ad cost per order = cost per click ÷ conversion rate Break-even cost per click = profit per order × conversion rate ROAS = order value × conversion rate ÷ cost per click Break-even ROAS = order value ÷ profit per order Q: Are Etsy Ads worth it? A: Only when your cost per click is below your profit per order multiplied by your conversion rate. With $12 profit and a 2.5% conversion rate, clicks must cost less than $0.30. Q: How do I find my conversion rate for Etsy Ads? A: In the Etsy Ads dashboard, divide the orders from ads by the clicks on ads for the same period. Use at least a few hundred clicks, because small samples swing a lot. Q: What is a good ROAS for Etsy Ads? A: One above your break-even ROAS, which is your order value divided by your profit per order before ads. If you keep $12 from a $30 order, you need more than 2.5x. Q: Do I pay for clicks that do not buy? A: Yes. Etsy Ads are charged per click. That is why the cost per order is the click cost divided by the conversion rate. ## Etsy Listing Fee Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/etsy-listing-fee-calculator/ Etsy's listing fee is $0.20 per listing. It is charged when you publish, again when the listing renews after four months, and again for each additional quantity sold. A shop that sells 300 items a year and keeps 50 slow listings renewing pays about $90 a year (rate checked 8 Nov 2026). Formula: Yearly listing fees ≈ units sold × $0.20 + slow listings × 3 renewals × $0.20 Rates verified: 8 Nov 2026. Sources: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115014483627, https://help.etsy.com/hc/articles/115015628847 Q: How much is Etsy's listing fee? A: US$0.20 per listing, charged when the listing is published and each time it renews. It is the same in every country, converted to your currency. Q: How often do Etsy listings renew? A: Every four months if auto-renew is on. A listing also renews when an item sells and more stock is left. Q: Do I pay $0.20 for every item sold? A: In practice yes. When one unit sells from a listing with more stock, the listing renews for $0.20, and each additional quantity in the same order is charged $0.20 as well. Q: Do I get the listing fee back if the item does not sell? A: No. The listing fee is charged for publishing the listing for four months, whether or not it sells. ## Print-on-Demand Profit Calculator (Etsy) URL: https://pricetagmath.com/print-on-demand-profit-calculator/ Print-on-demand profit on Etsy = price + shipping charged − Etsy fees − the provider's base cost − the provider's shipping. A $24.99 shirt with free shipping, a $9.50 base cost and $4.75 provider shipping leaves $7.92 after US Etsy fees of $2.82, a 31.7% margin. Formula: Etsy fees (US) = $0.20 + 6.5% × (price + shipping) + 3% × order total + $0.25 Profit = price + shipping charged − Etsy fees − base cost − provider shipping Rates verified: 8 Nov 2026. Sources: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115014483627, https://help.etsy.com/hc/articles/115015628847 Q: What is a good profit margin for print on demand on Etsy? A: Many sellers aim for 25% to 40% after Etsy's fees and the provider's charges, so there is room for Offsite Ads fees and discounts. The right number depends on your costs; the calculator shows yours. Q: Who pays for shipping on a print-on-demand order? A: The print provider charges you shipping for each order. You can charge the buyer shipping on Etsy or offer free shipping and build the cost into the price. Etsy's fees apply to shipping you charge. Q: Does Etsy charge fees on the provider's cost? A: Etsy's fees are worked out on what the buyer pays, not on your costs. The provider's base cost and shipping simply come out of what Etsy pays you. Q: Do I need to enter sales tax? A: No. In the US, Etsy adds, collects and pays the sales tax. Only Etsy's processing fee is charged on it; add the buyer's tax rate under Advanced to include that. ## PayPal Fee Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/paypal-fee-calculator/ PayPal's US fee for goods and services payments is 2.99% with no fixed fee ($2.99 on $100). Card payments cost 2.99% + $0.49 and PayPal Checkout 3.49% + $0.49; payments from another country add 1.50% (PayPal fee page updated 4 Nov 2026). Formula: PayPal fee = payment × rate [+ fixed fee] You receive = payment − fee To receive X, ask for (X + fixed fee) ÷ (1 − rate) Rates verified: 9 Nov 2026. Sources: https://www.paypal.com/us/business/paypal-business-fees Q: How much does PayPal take from $100?

A: No. PayPal's US fee page lists 2.99% with no fixed fee for sending and receiving money for goods and services. The $0.49 fixed fee applies to card payments, PayPal Checkout, Venmo, Pay Later and other commercial payments. Q: How do I make the buyer cover the PayPal fee? A: Use the I want to receive tab. To receive $100 from a goods and services payment you would ask for $103.08; for a card payment, $103.59. Check local rules and the platform's terms before adding a surcharge. Q: Why is the rate different for me? A: PayPal has different rates for international payments, charities, in-person payments and some business accounts.

A: In most categories, with free shipping and no sales tax, $14.00: a 13.6% final value fee ($13.60) plus the $0.40 per-order fee. You receive $86.00. These are the rates for sellers without a Store, checked on 10 November 2026. Q: Does eBay charge fees on shipping? A: Yes. The final value fee is charged on the total amount of the sale, which eBay says includes the item price, handling, shipping collected from the buyer and sales tax. Q: Does eBay charge fees on sales tax? A: Yes. eBay collects the tax and pays it to the state, but the final value fee is worked out on the total including the tax. Add the buyer's tax rate under Advanced to include it. Q: What is eBay's per-order fee? A: $0.30 for orders of $10.00 or less and $0.40 for orders over $10.00. Athletic shoes sold for $150 or more do not pay it. Q: Is there a fee for international sales? A: Yes, 1.65% of the total amount of the sale when the buyer's address or the item is outside the US and you are not using eBay International Shipping. Q: Are fees lower with an eBay Store? A: Store subscribers have their own fee table with lower rates in many categories. This calculator uses the no-Store rates; type your Store rate under Advanced. ## Marketplace Fee Comparison Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/marketplace-fee-comparison-calculator/ On a $25 item with $5 shipping, US fees are about $3.30 on Etsy (11%), $4.48 on eBay (14.9%, most categories) and $1.80 on TikTok Shop (6%). A card payment on your own site costs $1.17 with Stripe or $1.54 with PayPal Checkout (rates checked 8 to 10 Nov 2026). Rates verified: 10 Nov 2026. Sources: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115014483627, https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/selling-fees?id=4822, https://seller-us.tiktok.com/university/essay?knowledge_id=5988482086864682, https://stripe.com/pricing, https://www.paypal.com/us/business/paypal-business-fees Q: Which is cheaper for sellers, Etsy or eBay? A: On fees alone, Etsy is usually cheaper for a normal order: about 9.5% plus $0.45 against eBay's 13.6% plus $0.40 in most categories for sellers without a Store. On a $30 order that is $3.30 on Etsy and $4.48 on eBay. An Etsy Offsite Ads sale (12% or 15% extra) reverses that. Q: Is TikTok Shop cheaper than Etsy? A: The referral fee is lower: 6% of the item price plus buyer-paid shipping in most US categories, with no listing or per-order fee on TikTok's referral fee page. Many TikTok sales also carry a creator commission that you set, which can be much larger than the fee. Q: Why does my own site look cheapest? A: Because a payment processor only moves the money: Stripe charges 2.9% + 30¢ on a US card. It does not bring you buyers. Add your advertising cost and any shop plan before comparing. Q: Does this include Amazon or Shopify? A: No. We only include platforms where we could confirm one clear official rate. Amazon's referral fees change by category and fulfilment method, and Shopify's card rates depend on the plan. ## Square Fee Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/square-fee-calculator/ On Square's Free plan in the US, a card payment costs 2.6% + 15¢ in person, 3.3% + 30¢ online and 3.5% + 15¢ when the card is typed in or kept on file. On a $100 in-person sale Square keeps $2.75 and you receive $97.25 (checked 10 Nov 2026). Formula: Square fee = payment × rate + fixed fee You receive = payment − fee To receive X, charge (X + fixed fee) ÷ (1 − rate) Rates verified: 10 Nov 2026. Sources: https://squareup.com/us/en/payments/our-fees, https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/5068-what-are-square-s-fees Q: How much does Square take from a $100 sale? A: On the Free plan, $2.75 for an in-person card payment (2.6% + 15¢), $3.60 online (3.3% + 30¢) and $3.65 when the card is typed in (3.5% + 15¢). Q: Is Square cheaper on a paid plan? A: Square's fees page lists lower rates on Plus and Premium for some payments: 2.5% and 2.4% + 15¢ in person, and 2.9% + 30¢ online instead of 3.3% + 30¢. The plans have a monthly price, which this calculator does not include. Q: Does Square charge a fee on sales tax and tips? A: Yes. The percentage is taken from the full amount charged to the card, including tax and tip. Q: How do I pass the Square fee to the customer? A: Use the I want to receive tab to see the amount to charge. Card surcharge rules differ by state and card network, so check them before adding a fee at checkout. ## Poshmark Fee Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/poshmark-fee-calculator/ Poshmark charges a flat $2.95 on sales under $15 and a 20% commission on sales of $15 or more. A $50 sale earns you $40; a $12 sale earns $9.05 (Poshmark support page, checked 10 Nov 2026). Formula: Sale under $15: you earn = price − $2.95 Sale of $15 or more: you earn = price × 80% Price to earn X = X ÷ 0.8 (or X + $2.95 for small sales) Rates verified: 10 Nov 2026. Sources: https://support.poshmark.com/s/article/297755057?language=en_US Q: How much does Poshmark take from a $50 sale? A: 20%, which is $10. You earn $40. The 20% commission applies to every sale of $15 or more. Q: What is the Poshmark fee under $15? A: A flat $2.95, whatever the price. On a $10 sale you earn $7.05. Q: Who pays for shipping on Poshmark? A: On a standard sale the buyer pays for shipping, using Poshmark's prepaid label. If you offer discounted shipping in an offer, that discount comes out of your earnings. Q: What price should I list to earn $40? A: $50. Divide the amount you want by 0.8 for any sale of $15 or more. ## Break-Even ROAS Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/break-even-roas-calculator/ Break-even ROAS = order value ÷ profit per order before ads, which is the same as 1 ÷ your margin. With a 50% margin you break even at 2.00x; with 25% you need 4.00x. Formula: Profit before ads = order value − product cost − other costs Break-even ROAS = order value ÷ profit before ads Break-even CPA = profit before ads Target ROAS = order value ÷ (profit before ads − profit you want) Q: Is a ROAS of 2 good? A: Only if your break-even ROAS is below 2. A business with a 50% margin breaks even at 2x; one with a 25% margin needs 4x just to break even. Q: Should I count repeat purchases? A: This calculator looks at the first order only. If customers often buy again, you can afford a lower ROAS on the first sale, but that is a bet on future orders. Q: What is the difference between ROAS and ROI? A: ROAS is revenue ÷ ad spend. ROI compares profit with what you spent. A campaign can have a ROAS above 1 and still lose money once product costs are taken off. Q: How do I find my break-even ROAS from my margin? A: Divide 1 by your margin before ads. A 40% margin gives 1 ÷ 0.4 = 2.5x. Q: What is max CPA? A: The most you can pay in ads for one sale without losing money: your profit per order before ads. ## Facebook Ads Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/facebook-ads-calculator/ Sales from an ad budget = budget ÷ CPM × 1,000 × CTR × conversion rate. $300 at a $12 CPM, 1.2% CTR and 2% conversion gives about 6 sales; at a $45 order value and 50% margin, that campaign loses $165. Formula: Impressions = budget ÷ CPM × 1,000 Clicks = impressions × CTR Sales = clicks × conversion rate Revenue = sales × order value Profit = revenue × margin − budget Q: What is CPM? A: Cost per mille: what you pay for 1,000 ad impressions. It is shown in Meta Ads Manager for each campaign. Q: What is the difference between CTR and conversion rate? A: CTR is the share of people who click the ad. Conversion rate is the share of those visitors who then buy. Q: How much should I spend to test an ad? A: Spend enough to get a meaningful number of clicks. Set the budget so the calculator shows at least a few expected sales; with fewer than that, results are mostly luck. Q: What is a good ROAS on Facebook? A: One above your break-even ROAS, which is 1 ÷ your margin before ads. With a 50% margin that is 2x; the calculator shows it for your numbers. Q: How do I find the budget for a sales goal? A: Use the My sales goal tab. It divides the CPM by 1,000 × CTR × conversion rate to get the ad cost per sale, then multiplies by the sales you want. ## Pinterest Ads Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/pinterest-ads-calculator/ Pinterest ads break even when your conversion rate reaches cost per click ÷ (order value × margin). At $0.80 per click, a $35 order and a 50% margin, you need about 4.6% of visitors to buy. Formula: Clicks = budget ÷ cost per click Sales = clicks × conversion rate Revenue = sales × order value Profit = revenue × margin − budget Break-even conversion rate = CPC ÷ (order value × margin) Q: Can I send Pinterest ads to my Etsy shop? A: Pinterest allows ads that link to many websites, including marketplace listings, as long as the ad follows Pinterest's advertising guidelines. Check the current rules in Pinterest's business help center before you start. Q: What should my margin include? A: Everything except the ad itself: product cost, shipping, packaging and marketplace or payment fees. Q: What conversion rate do I need to break even? A: Cost per click ÷ (order value × margin). At $0.80 a click, a $35 order and a 50% margin, that is 0.80 ÷ 17.50 = 4.57%. Q: How many clicks does a budget buy? A: Budget ÷ cost per click. $200 at $0.80 a click buys 250 clicks. Q: What is a good ROAS for Pinterest ads? A: One above your break-even ROAS, which is 1 ÷ your margin before ads. With a 50% margin you need more than 2x just to cover the ad spend. Q: How much budget do I need for 10 sales? A: Sales wanted × cost per click ÷ conversion rate. At $0.80 a click and a 2% conversion rate, each sale costs $40 in ads, so 10 sales need $400. ## CAC & Customer Lifetime Value Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/cac-ltv-calculator/ CAC = marketing spend ÷ new customers. LTV = order value × margin × orders per customer. If $500 of ads brings 25 customers, CAC is $20; with a $40 order, a 50% margin and 2.5 orders per customer, LTV is $50 and the LTV to CAC ratio is 2.5 to 1. Formula: CAC = marketing spend ÷ new customers Profit per order = order value × margin LTV = profit per order × orders per customer LTV to CAC ratio = LTV ÷ CAC Q: How do I calculate CAC? A: Divide what you spent on marketing in a period by the number of new customers won in the same period. $500 of ads and 25 new customers is a CAC of $20. Q: How do I calculate customer lifetime value? A: For a small shop: average order value × profit margin × the number of orders a customer places over time. $40 × 50% × 2.5 = $50. Q: What is a good LTV to CAC ratio? A: A common rule of thumb is about 3 to 1. Below 1 to 1 you lose money on each customer. Q: Should LTV use revenue or profit? A: Profit. Product costs, shipping and fees must be paid from each order, so only the margin is available to pay for marketing. ## Profit Margin Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/profit-margin-calculator/ Profit margin = (price − cost) ÷ price × 100. An item that costs $12 and sells for $20 has a 40% margin (and a 66.7% markup). To get a 50% margin on a $12 cost, charge $24. Formula: Profit = price − cost Margin = profit ÷ price × 100 Markup = profit ÷ cost × 100 Price for a target margin = cost ÷ (1 − margin) Q: What is a good profit margin? A: It depends on the business. Handmade and digital products often run higher margins than resold goods. What matters is that the margin covers your time, ads and the costs that are not per unit. Q: Can margin be more than 100%? A: No. Margin is a share of the price, so it is always below 100%. Markup can be any size; a 300% markup is common for low-cost items. Q: How do I turn markup into margin? A: Margin = markup ÷ (1 + markup). A 50% markup is a 33.3% margin. Q: How do I find the price for a 30% margin? A: Divide the cost by 0.7. A $10 cost needs a $14.29 price. Adding 30% to the cost ($13) gives only a 23.1% margin. Q: What is the difference between gross and net margin? A: Gross margin uses only the direct cost of the product. Net margin also takes off every other business cost, such as ads, software, rent and tax. This calculator gives the margin on the costs you enter. Q: How do I calculate margin in a spreadsheet? A: With the price in B2 and the cost in A2: =(B2-A2)/B2, formatted as a percentage. ## Markup Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/markup-calculator/ Selling price = cost × (1 + markup ÷ 100). A 100% markup doubles the cost and gives a 50% margin; a 50% markup gives a 33.3% margin. Formula: Price = cost × (1 + markup ÷ 100) Margin = (price − cost) ÷ price × 100 Q: Is a 100% markup the same as a 100% profit margin? A: No. A 100% markup doubles the cost and gives a 50% margin. A 100% margin is impossible. Q: Which should I use, markup or margin? A: Markup is easy when you set prices from cost. Margin is better for comparing products and checking profitability. Use both: set with markup, check with margin. Q: How do I convert markup to margin? A: Margin = markup ÷ (1 + markup). A 50% markup is 0.5 ÷ 1.5 = 33.3% margin; a 200% markup is 2 ÷ 3 = 66.7% margin. Q: What markup gives a 30% margin? A: 42.9%. Markup = margin ÷ (1 − margin) = 0.3 ÷ 0.7 = 0.429. Q: What is keystone pricing? A: Doubling the cost, which is a 100% markup and a 50% margin. It is a common starting point for wholesale-to-retail pricing. Q: Should the markup include platform fees? A: The markup is applied to your cost; platform fees then come out of the selling price. Pick your platform under Platform fee to see the profit and margin after the fee. ## Discount & Sale Profit Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/discount-calculator/ A discount comes straight out of your profit. Extra sales needed = discount ÷ (margin − discount): with a 50% margin, a 20% discount needs 66.7% more sales just to earn the same profit. Formula: Sale price = price × (1 − discount) Extra sales needed = profit before ÷ profit after − 1 Q: Does Etsy charge fees on the discounted price? A: Yes. Etsy's percentage fees are charged on what the buyer actually pays, so a discount lowers the fees a little too. Q: Is a discount ever worth it? A: Yes, if it brings enough extra sales or new customers who buy again. The calculator tells you the extra sales you need; decide if that is realistic. Q: Is 20% off and then 10% off the same as 30% off? A: No. The second discount applies to the already reduced price, so the total is 1 − 0.8 × 0.9 = 28% off. Q: How do I work out a sale price? A: Multiply the price by (1 − discount). 25% off $40 is $40 × 0.75 = $30. Q: How many more sales do I need after a discount? A: Profit before ÷ profit after − 1. If you made $15 and now make $9, you need 15 ÷ 9 − 1 = 66.7% more sales. Q: What is 15% off $50? A: $42.50. Multiply the price by 0.85. The customer saves $7.50. Q: What is the biggest discount I can give without losing money? A: A discount equal to your profit margin brings the profit on each sale to zero. With a 40% margin, anything above 40% off loses money. ## Break-Even Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/break-even-calculator/ Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price − cost per unit), rounded up. With $500 of monthly fixed costs, a $25 price and a $10 unit cost, you need 34 sales a month to break even. Formula: Contribution per unit = price − variable cost Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution (rounded up) Break-even revenue = fixed costs ÷ (contribution ÷ price) Units for a profit goal = (fixed costs + profit goal) ÷ contribution Q: What is a break-even point? A: The number of sales (or the revenue) at which total income equals total costs, so you make neither a profit nor a loss. Q: Why is the number of units rounded up? A: You cannot sell part of an item. 33.3 units means the 34th sale is the one that takes you past break-even. Q: What if the price is lower than the cost per unit? A: Then each sale loses money and no number of sales can break even. Raise the price or cut the cost per unit first. Q: What is contribution margin? A: What each sale leaves after its own costs (price − variable cost), shown as an amount or as a share of the price. It is the part of each sale that pays the fixed costs. Q: Do platform fees count as fixed or variable costs? A: Per-sale fees such as Etsy's transaction and processing fees are variable costs. Monthly subscriptions and software are fixed costs. Q: How do I lower my break-even point? A: Raise the price, cut the cost per unit, or cut fixed costs. Raising the price usually has the biggest effect, because all of it goes to the contribution. ## Handmade Pricing Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/handmade-pricing-calculator/ A common handmade formula: cost = materials + (hours × wage) + overhead; wholesale = cost × 2; retail = wholesale × 2. $6 of materials, 30 minutes at $18 an hour and $1 overhead give a $16 cost and a $64 retail price. Formula: Cost = materials + (hours × hourly wage) + overhead Wholesale = cost × 2 Retail = wholesale × 2 Q: Why include my wage in the cost? A: Your time is a real cost. If you leave it out, the 'profit' is really your wage, and you cannot hire help or grow without raising prices later. Q: Do I have to use 2 × 2? A: No. It is a common starting point, not a rule. Change the multipliers to match your market, your channels and your margins. Q: Does the retail price include Etsy fees? A: No. The retail price is what the buyer pays; Etsy's fees come out of it. Run the retail price through the Etsy fee calculator to see your real profit. Q: What if my price comes out higher than similar items? A: Check the time first: faster methods or batch work lower the cost more than cheaper materials. If the price is still above the market, the item may suit direct retail better than wholesale, where the shop needs its own margin. ## Freelance Hourly Rate Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/freelance-hourly-rate-calculator/ Hourly rate = (take-home income ÷ (1 − tax rate) + expenses) ÷ (1 − platform fee) ÷ billable hours. To take home $50,000 with $3,000 of expenses, 25% tax, a 10% platform fee and 1,150 billable hours a year, you need to charge $67.31 an hour. Formula: Profit needed before tax = take-home income ÷ (1 − tax rate) Billings needed = (profit needed + expenses) ÷ (1 − platform fee) Hourly rate = billings needed ÷ (billable hours per week × weeks worked) Q: How do I calculate my freelance hourly rate? A: Divide the take-home income you want by (1 − your tax rate), add your yearly business expenses, divide by (1 − platform fee), then divide by your billable hours per year. Q: How many billable hours does a freelancer work? A: It varies, but many full-time freelancers bill between 20 and 30 hours a week, because marketing, admin and unpaid work take the rest. Use your own tracked number. Q: How much should I add for Upwork or Fiverr fees? A: Divide your rate by (1 − fee). To keep $60 an hour at a 10% fee, charge $66.67; at Fiverr's 20%, charge $75. Q: Should I charge by the hour or by the project? A: Either works; the hourly rate is still the base. For a fixed-price project, multiply your rate by the hours you expect, and add a margin for revisions. ## Self-Employment Tax Calculator (US, 2026) URL: https://pricetagmath.com/self-employment-tax-calculator/ US self-employment tax is 15.3% (12.4% Social Security plus 2.9% Medicare) of 92.35% of your net profit, if your net earnings are $400 or more. For 2026 the Social Security part stops at $184,500 of combined wages and earnings. On $40,000 of profit it is about $5,651.82 (IRS, checked 10 Nov 2026). Formula: Net earnings = net profit × 92.35% Social Security part = 12.4% × net earnings (up to $184,500 minus your W-2 wages) Medicare part = 2.9% × net earnings Self-employment tax = Social Security part + Medicare part Rates verified: 10 Nov 2026. Sources: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/self-employment-tax-social-security-and-medicare-taxes, https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc554 Q: What is the self-employment tax rate for 2026? A: 15.3%: 12.4% for Social Security and 2.9% for Medicare, according to the IRS. It is applied to 92.35% of your net profit, and the Social Security part stops at $184,500 of combined wages and net earnings for 2026. Q: Do I pay self-employment tax on Etsy income? A: If you sell as a business and your net earnings from self-employment are $400 or more, the IRS says you usually must pay it. It is worked out on profit after business expenses, not on total sales. Q: How much self-employment tax do I pay on $10,000? A: About $1,412.96: $10,000 × 92.35% × 15.3%. That is 14.13% of the profit. Q: Is self-employment tax the same as income tax? A: No. It only covers Social Security and Medicare. Federal and state income tax are separate and are not included in this calculator. Q: Can I deduct self-employment tax? A: The IRS lets you deduct one-half of your self-employment tax when working out your adjusted gross income. The calculator shows that half. ## Wholesale & Consignment Price Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/wholesale-price-calculator/ A common formula is wholesale price = cost × 2 and retail price = wholesale × 2 (keystone). An item that costs $8 wholesales at $16 and retails at $32. On consignment with a 60/40 split, the same $32 sale pays you $19.20. Formula: Wholesale price = cost × wholesale multiplier Retail price = wholesale price × retail multiplier Consignment payout = retail price × (1 − shop's share) Q: What is keystone pricing? A: Doubling the wholesale price to get the retail price. The shop then makes a 50% margin. An item bought at $16 is sold at $32. Q: How do I calculate a wholesale price? A: A common starting point is your full cost (materials, labour and overhead) multiplied by 2. Check that the result still leaves the shop room to double it for retail. Q: What is a normal consignment split? A: Splits vary by shop. Many pay the maker 50% to 70% of the retail price. Whatever the split, compare the payout with your wholesale price before agreeing. Q: Should my own retail price match the shops that stock me? A: Yes, as a rule. Selling direct below the retail price undercuts your stockists and usually breaks wholesale terms. ## Candle Cost & Price Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/candle-cost-calculator/ Fragrance oil needed = wax weight × fragrance load. An 8 oz candle at an 8% load needs 0.64 oz of oil. With wax at $3.50 a pound, oil at $1.50 an ounce, a $1.60 jar, a $0.25 wick, $0.60 of packaging and 10 minutes of labour at $18 an hour, one candle costs $8.16. Formula: Fragrance oil = wax weight × fragrance load Wax cost = wax weight ÷ 16 × price per pound Cost per candle = wax + fragrance oil + wick + jar + packaging + your time Wholesale = cost × 2 · Retail = wholesale × 2 Q: How much fragrance oil do I need for an 8 oz candle? A: Multiply the wax weight by your fragrance load. At 8%, 8 oz of wax needs 0.64 oz of oil; at 10%, 0.8 oz. Q: What is fragrance load? A: The weight of fragrance oil as a percentage of the wax weight. Each wax has a maximum load given by its maker; many container waxes are used at around 6% to 10%. Q: How do I price a candle? A: Add up wax, fragrance oil, wick, jar, packaging and your time to get the cost. A common formula then doubles the cost for a wholesale price and doubles it again for retail. Q: Is an 8 oz jar the same as 8 oz of wax? A: No. Jar sizes are usually in fluid ounces of volume, and wax is lighter than water, so an 8 fl oz jar holds less than 8 oz of wax by weight. Weigh the wax your jar takes. ## Breeding & Due Date Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/breeding-calculator/ Average pregnancy length from breeding: dog 63 days, cat 65, rabbit 31, goat 150, sheep 147, pig 114, cow 283 and horse 340. Add it to the first mating date for the expected due date, and ask your vet to confirm. Q: How long is a dog pregnant? A: About 63 days on average. Counted from the first day the female accepted breeding, the Merck Veterinary Manual gives a normal range of 58 to 72 days, because mating and ovulation do not happen on the same day. Q: How long is a cat pregnant? A: Usually about 63 to 65 days. VCA Animal Hospitals gives a range of 64 to 71 days, with most cats delivering between day 63 and day 65. Q: Can I know the due date if I don't know the mating date? A: Not with this calculator. A vet can estimate how far along the pregnancy is with an ultrasound or X-ray. Q: Why does my horse go past 340 days? A: Mare pregnancies vary a lot; births from about 320 to 370 days are common. Ask your vet if you are worried. Q: How long is a goat pregnant? A: 145 to 155 days, 150 days on average, according to the Merck Veterinary Manual. Q: How long is a horse pregnant? A: About 340 days, or about 11 months, on average according to the Merck Veterinary Manual. ## Pregnancy Due Date Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/pregnancy-due-date-calculator/ Your estimated due date is 280 days (40 weeks) after the first day of your last period, or 266 days after conception. It is an estimate: your doctor or midwife may adjust it after an ultrasound. Formula: Due date = first day of last period + 280 days (+ cycle length − 28) From conception: due date = conception + 266 days IVF: day-5 transfer + 261 days, day-3 transfer + 263 days Q: How many weeks is a full-term pregnancy? A: Full term is from 39 weeks 0 days to 40 weeks 6 days. Babies born from 37 weeks are called early term. Q: Why is pregnancy counted from my last period? A: The day of conception is rarely known, while the first day of the last period usually is. Counting from it gives a shared starting point. Q: My ultrasound gave a different date. Which is right? A: Follow the date from your doctor or midwife. Early ultrasound measurements are generally more precise than the last-period method. Q: How is an IVF due date worked out? A: From the transfer date and the embryo's age: 261 days after a day-5 (blastocyst) transfer, or 263 days after a day-3 transfer. Both match 280 days from an equivalent last period. Q: What if my cycle is longer than 28 days? A: Ovulation usually happens later, so the calculator moves the due date later by the number of extra days. A 32-day cycle moves it 4 days later. Q: How many weeks pregnant am I? A: Count from the first day of your last period: the calculator shows it as weeks and days under 'How far along today'. Q: If my last period started on 1 January, when am I due? A: Around 8 October of the same year (7 October in a leap year): 280 days later, for a 28-day cycle. ## Dog Pregnancy Calculator URL: https://pricetagmath.com/dog-pregnancy-calculator/ Dogs are pregnant for about 63 days on average.

A: The udder starts developing 2 to 4 weeks before foaling, and wax-like beads appear on the teats in almost all mares 6 to 48 hours before. Q: How long does foaling take? A: Merck says the first stage typically lasts 1 to 2 hours, and an uncomplicated delivery usually takes no more than 30 minutes after the membranes rupture.
