Profit route

Estimated monthly orders: 58

Estimated monthly profit: £467.70

Profit gap: £432.30

Conversion needed: 4.6%

AOV economics use the representative item's 32.4% product cost-to-price ratio.

Shipping threshold

AOV lift needed: £8.00

Threshold net revenue: £45.00

Estimated product cost: £16.18

Threshold contribution: £18.02

Free shipping threshold can improve contribution if it lifts AOV enough.

Assumption: the threshold basket keeps the current 32.4% product cost-to-price ratio. Change the representative sale price and product cost if the basket mix differs.

Decision summary

At current contribution, the target needs 111 orders a month (4.6%). Qualified traffic, conversion, AOV, or margin could close the gap; this calculator cannot choose the best lever for you.

Ecommerce calculators for decisions before spend.

Use the calculator before adding discounts, paid traffic, bundles, or shipping thresholds. It is built for practical commercial decisions: does the unit economics survive once fees, returns, fulfilment, and ad spend are included?

View project proofMarketplace-specific fee and UK duty calculators are not currently offered.
What can the ecommerce calculators work out?

They calculate margin, contribution after ads, break-even ROAS, refund drag, discount impact, target-profit gap, and free-shipping threshold economics.

Is this an ecommerce margin calculator?

Yes. It is designed to show product margin before and after ads, platform fees, fulfilment cost, refunds, and discounts.

Does it replace tax or accounting advice?

No. The calculators are decision-support tools for commercial planning and should not be treated as tax, accounting, legal, or financial advice.

Is any data saved?

No. The calculator runs client-side, requires no login, and does not save the numbers you enter.
