Margin is different from markup.
Margin expresses the amount left as a percentage of your selling price. Markup compares an increase with the cost instead. They are not interchangeable—and fees can change what is left.
Include the quiet costs
Labels, boxes and packing time can be easy to miss. Allocate them consistently. If a fixed payment fee applies to a whole order, divide it appropriately rather than charging the full fee to every item.
About the target price
We solve for a price that meets your selected contribution margin after the entered costs and fees. The margin plus variable fee must stay below 100%. This does not predict demand or the right market price.
