What is left between landed cost and resale price
Add up everything a parcel costs before it reaches you, then see what a resale price leaves behind.
Resale margin result
The haul returns 71.00, which is 11.83% of the resale price.
Gross margin 11.83%
A 20% gross margin needs a price of at least 670.00 with these cost lines, and break-even sits at 521.11.
How the calculation runs
Parameters and the date they were checked
Parameters checked 2026-10-06. The defaults on this page are the values we recorded when we last read the relevant pages, and they are listed with the same date on the sources page. Change any rate, fee or day count and the tool labels itself manual, so a figure you supplied is never mistaken for one we recorded.
Three ways to use it
- Fill item price and international shipping first: together they are usually more than half of the total, so they set the scale of everything else.
- Leave the service rate and platform rate at the rates you were actually charged, not at the headline rate; a rate above 50% is flagged because it is nearly always a decimal slip.
- Read the required-price line last. If it sits far above the price you had in mind, the useful move is to compress the two largest cost lines, not the selling price.
Questions this tool gets
Should the destination tax be in the cost or paid by the buyer?
Put it in the cost line if you are the importer of record, because it leaves your account whether or not the buyer reimburses it. If your buyer pays the tax directly, set the tax rate to 0 and note that in your own records; this page can only total what you type into it.
Why is there a separate column for break-even price?
Because it is the one number that does not depend on a guess about the buyer. Every price above break-even returns something; every price below it returns less than nothing. The 20% line is the same calculation with the margin you asked for held back out of the price.
Where it stops being reliable
Boundaries and exceptions
- A resale price of zero or less cannot produce a margin or a break-even figure, so the tool reports the cost side only and asks for a price.
- A negative net profit is shown in the warning colour together with the two lines that are most often compressed: the service fee and the consolidated freight.
- A service rate or platform rate above 50% calculates, but is flagged as a probable decimal error.
- The tool totals the numbers you enter. It does not know your storage overage, your card fees or your return rate; add those as separate cost lines if they matter to you.
Stops that use this number
- Stop 3: Pay for the item — Item payment and freight payment are two separate moments. Most closed doors close at the first one.
- Stop 7: Freight and customs — Freight is charged on chargeable weight. Customs is decided on declaration fields you fill in.
Readings behind it
- Joyagoo coupons and credits: which line they hit — A coupon or a credit lands on one of eight lines; the other seven are still yours to pay.
- Joyagoo first haul at $100, $300 and $600 — A $100 haul is settled by packing shape, not by which items you picked.
Other tools: all nine. The reading protocol and the cost waterfall are the two tools that exist only on this site.
