About MarginMath

MarginMath is a set of free calculators for people who sell online — on Amazon, eBay, Etsy or their own store. Every tool runs in your browser: nothing you type is sent to a server, there is no sign-up, and results update as you type.

Amazon PPC & e-commerce specialist. Day to day that work means pricing products, reading marketplace fee reports and advertising data, and finding where a seller's margin goes. These calculators are the same checks used in that work, made public. Hire Jansher on Upwork.

How the numbers are checked

  • Formulas are shown on every page so you can check any result by hand.
  • Marketplace fees come from the platforms' own fee pages — Amazon, eBay and Etsy — and each fee calculator lists its sources and the date they were last checked.
  • Calculations are tested against the platforms' published examples before each update (for example, eBay's own $424 sale example returns $58.06 in fees here too).
  • Rates can change. Every fee calculator lets you edit or override rates, and the "Updated" date on each page shows when it was last reviewed.

The calculators

  • Markup Calculator — Enter any two values — cost, markup % or selling price — and the third is calculated instantly, along with your profit and profit margin.
  • Profit Margin Calculator — Work out your gross profit margin from cost and revenue — or enter a target margin to find the selling price you need.
  • Margin ↔ Markup Converter — Type a margin to get the matching markup, or type a markup to get the matching margin. Both directions update live.
  • Etsy Fee Calculator — See exactly what Etsy takes from a sale, what you keep, and what to charge for the margin you want.
  • eBay Fee Calculator — Every eBay category, with or without an eBay Store. See the final value fee, what you keep, and the price you need.
  • Amazon FBA Calculator — Referral fees for every Amazon category and FBA fees worked out from your product's size and weight — so you see real profit before you buy inventory.
  • ACoS & TACoS Calculator — Check whether your Amazon ads make money. Enter ad spend and sales for ACoS, TACoS and ROAS, and your product numbers for the break-even ACoS.
  • Amazon vs eBay vs Etsy — Enter one product once and see what Amazon FBA, eBay and Etsy each take — and where you keep the most.
