Reseller profit calculator
Profit is the sale price minus what you paid, the marketplace's fees and the shipping label. Enter your numbers and see it for every marketplace at once.
The profit formula
Profit = sale price + shipping the buyer paid − marketplace fees − what you paid for the item − the shipping label.
- Count supplies like boxes and tape if you buy them per item.
- Mileage and sourcing trips count at tax time, even if not per item.
- A 3x markup on what you paid is a common rule of thumb for thrift flips, because fees and shipping take a big share of small sales.
Track profit on every sale
VendorSnap keeps the cost you paid on each item and shows your profit per sale, in person and online, with a spreadsheet export for tax time (Pro).

Questions and answers
What is a good profit margin for reselling?
Many resellers aim to keep at least half the sale price as profit after fees and shipping on small items, and a set dollar amount, such as $10 or more, per item, so the time spent is worth it.

One photo prices it, one tap lists it on eBay and Etsy, and a sale anywhere takes it down everywhere else.
