• What is the lowest price I can sell at without losing money after all fees?Set the target margin to zero with every cost and fee, and the calculator returns your break-even price. Any discount or deal below it loses money on each order.
• The calculator gave me 105.71; should I round to 104.99 or 109.99?Rounding down drops your margin below target and rounding up lifts it. Check the margin of each candidate price before choosing the one that goes on the product page.
• How do I price a bundle of three products that ship together in one parcel?A bundle saves two shipments and their fees, so it can cost less than three separate items at the same margin or better. Here is how to price it and compare with singles.
• How do I include my advertising cost per order in the selling price?Take your average ad cost per order from campaign results and add it to fixed fees before solving. If the price ends up above what buyers pay, fix the ad cost.
• Does the price from the selling-price calculator include VAT?No. The calculator gives a price before tax. Add VAT afterwards at the rate that applies to you, and never put it in the fee field, because it is not your cost.
• My platform takes commission on the price plus the shipping the customer pays; how do I adjust the calculation?The selling-price calculator assumes commission is on the item price only. If your platform also charges it on shipping the customer pays, add that part to fixed fees.
• I buy the product in dollars from abroad; how do I work out its selling price in riyals with shipping and fees?Convert the purchase cost at the rate your bank actually charged, with conversion fees, then enter it. Try a worse rate too, to see how much buffer the price needs.
• Should my price on Instagram and WhatsApp be lower than on marketplaces?Solve the same product twice: with the marketplace commission, and with only your direct channel's fees. The gap is how far a direct price can drop at the same margin.
• I want a fixed profit of 20 per piece rather than a percentage; how do I get the price?The calculator takes a percentage target, but you can enter the profit you want as a fixed fee with a zero margin, and it solves the price that leaves exactly that.
• Most of my customers order two pieces at a time; how do I spread shipping across the price per piece?The calculator assumes one product per order. If orders hold two pieces, split shipping across them for a lower unit price, but check what happens to a one-piece order.
• If I add buy-now-pay-later with higher fees than my card gateway, should I raise my prices?Solve once at your card gateway rate and once at the BNPL rate in your contract. The gap is what an installment order costs you; then absorb it, pass it on or average it.
• I make my products by hand; how do I price them and count my own time as a cost?Multiply the hours each piece takes by the rate you want to pay yourself and add it to materials before solving. Otherwise your work is free.
• I always price at double my cost; why is that not enough when I sell on a platform that takes commission?Double the cost is a 100% markup only before fees. When a platform takes commission from the price, the real markup drops. Markup mode lifts the price so 100% survives.
• I want to offer a 20% coupon in Ramadan; what should the list price be so I still keep a 15% margin after it?First solve the price that hits your margin after the discount, then divide it by what the coupon leaves. That gives the list price to show before Ramadan starts.
• How do I work out a dropshipping selling price when the supplier ships straight to the customer?Supplier price is cost, their delivery charge is shipping, the app fee is fixed, the gateway is a percentage. Where dropshipping numbers go, and what stays out.
• Are my costs and prices stored or visible to anyone when I use the selling-price calculator?No. The calculation runs in your browser, and the numbers you type are neither sent to a server nor kept after you leave. Here is where the real risk lies.
• Why does the calculator give a tiny price for my e-book that costs nothing to produce per copy?The calculator builds price from costs, and an e-book costs nothing per copy, so the result is a floor, not a price. Use it for your minimum.
• I pay a platform commission and a payment gateway fee; do I add the two percentages in one field?Yes, if both are charged on the full selling price, with fixed parts in fixed fees. If one uses another base, the sum overstates it slightly; here is the fix.
• I priced with the calculator, but my actual profit at month end is below the target margin; why?The solved price is exact for one order with your inputs. The gap comes from outside them: rounding, fees on another base, VAT, returns, ads or coupons. How to find it.
• How do I cover the cost of returns in my selling price?Multiply your return rate by the cost of one return and add the result to fixed fees before solving. Each order then carries its share of returns.
• What does a 480 dirham abaya cost after 35% off?A 480 dirham abaya at 35% off costs 312, a saving of 168. The working step by step, a quick mental check, and how to confirm it on your phone.
• How do I get exact was, now and you-save figures for my sale banner?How to get was, now and you-save figures that always add up on a promo banner, and why rounding each number on its own leaves you a cent out.
• Is buy 2 get 1 free really the same as 33% off?Three for two is 33.33% off the three items when they cost the same, and second item half price is 25% off. When that holds, and when it does not.
• Which is better for a customer, 15% off or 50 off?A flat amount wins on small baskets and a percentage wins on big ones. The cross-over between 15% off and 50 off is 333.33, with worked figures.
