What to enter
- Item price, buyer-paid shipping and quantity.
- Materials, labor or fulfillment cost and seller-paid shipping.

How to use the estimate
- Use net profit, not revenue, when comparing a product with another side hustle.
- Run both advertised and non-advertised scenarios because the fee difference can change the margin materially.
- Add the value of your production time to product cost if you want a true business margin.
What the calculator cannot know
