Break-Even Price Calculator (Free)
Find the price at which a product stops losing money, the price needed to hit a target margin, and the profit and margin at any price you choose.
How this calculator works
- Fixed per-unit total = unit product cost + fixed per-unit expenses.
- Break-even price = fixed total ÷ (1 − selling fee rate) — the price at which profit is zero.
- Price for target margin = fixed total ÷ (1 − selling fee rate − target margin).
- Profit at a chosen price = price × (1 − selling fee rate) − fixed total.
Because percentage selling fees are taken from the sale price, a simple “cost + markup” calculation understates the price you actually need. This tool accounts for that.
What to enter
- Unit cost and any fixed per-unit expenses (fixed fulfillment, fixed payment fee, per-unit shipping).
- Percentage selling fees — the total of marketplace referral and any other percentage fee taken from the sale.
- Target margin as a percentage of the selling price. Fixed costs such as advertising can be added as fixed per-unit expenses.
Important
If percentage fees plus your target margin reach 100% or more, no price can deliver that margin and the tool will say so. Estimates only — confirm current fee rates with each marketplace before pricing.
