Check pricing quality before fees reduce your real profit
Profitability can look strong before you account for VAT, card charges, marketplace commissions, and shipping. This page keeps the original calculator logic, then places it into the new Funifytools layout so you can review standard margin, real margin, reverse pricing, charts, scenario compare, and PDF export in one flow.

How to use the Advanced Margin Calculator
1
Select standard or reverse mode
Use Standard Margin for one or more products. Use Reverse Margin when you only know cost and the target margin you want to achieve.
2
Enter product data
For each product, input the name, category, selling price, cost, and quantity. Add more rows as needed.
3
Add fee assumptions
In standard mode, enter VAT, card fee, platform fee, and shipping cost per unit to estimate real profit after deductions.
4
Calculate and compare
Review summary lines, product breakdown, charts, and interpretation notes. Then save the result as a scenario or export a two column PDF report.

What it measures
This calculator focuses on product level profitability. It starts with revenue, cost, and quantity, then extends the result by estimating fee adjusted real profit. That makes it useful for marketplaces, retail stores, small manufacturers, and anyone comparing price strategy across a product list.
Use margin analysis to compare pricing, cost, and fee impact before you make a product decision
Standard mode
Standard mode keeps the original calculation logic and adds the newer layout around it.
Total revenue is the sum of price times quantity for all products.
Total cost is the sum of cost times quantity for all products.
Total profit is revenue minus cost.
Total fees include VAT, card fee, platform fee, and shipping cost by quantity.
Real profit is total profit minus total fees.
Product rows are shown individually so you can see which items contribute the most profit and which items lose more margin after fees.
Reverse mode
Reverse mode is for pricing from the target backward. Instead of entering a selling price, you enter product cost and the target margin percentage. The calculator returns the price needed to hit that margin, along with the implied profit amount and markup percentage.
Useful when planning a new listing or proposal price.
Helpful when checking whether a target margin creates an unrealistic selling price.
Simple way to compare margin and markup, which are often confused.
Margin is revenue based. Markup is cost based. A product can have a 40% margin and a much higher markup at the same time. That difference is one reason the comparison chart is useful.
Pitfalls
Do not confuse VAT and platform fees with product cost. They are separate deductions in this model.
Check quantity carefully. Revenue, cost, shipping, and total fees all change with quantity.
Reverse margin targets close to 100% can produce impractical selling prices.
A healthy standard margin can still turn into a weak real margin after fee deductions.
What is the difference between margin and markup?▶
Margin is profit divided by revenue. Markup is profit divided by cost. Because the denominator is different, the percentages are different too.
What is real margin in this calculator?▶
Real margin is the profit margin after deducting VAT, card fee, platform fee, and shipping cost. It helps show a more realistic outcome than gross margin alone.
When should I use reverse margin mode?▶
Use it when you know the cost and want to find the minimum selling price needed to hit a desired margin.
Can I compare multiple calculations?▶
Yes. After a calculation, click Add scenario to push the current result into the comparison table.
Key takeaways
Gross margin alone can be misleading when fees and shipping are significant
Real margin is often the more practical number for e commerce decisions
Margin and markup are not interchangeable
Reverse pricing helps test whether a target margin creates a realistic price
Comparing scenarios makes it easier to test fee and product mix assumptions
