AldervantTarget Selling Price Calculator
Calculate the price needed to reach a target contribution margin after costs and selling fees.
See what remains after product costs, shipping, and selling fees.
Price products for a target margin
Required price = fixed per-unit costs ÷ (1 − selling fee rate − target margin rate). This works when the combined fee and target margin rates are below 100%.
Worked example
If your costs total $22.30, selling fees are 10%, and your target contribution margin is 30%, the unrounded required price is about $37.17. Round up to the next cent to avoid falling below the target.
What to keep in mind
