SKU and cost inputs

ProductTitle and SKU make saved projects, CSV exports, and printed reports usable.
Unit economicsEnter direct per-unit costs before fees. Landed cost can be added from the import module.
Optional landed-cost add-onKeep this narrow: toggle the import add-on, edit the shipment basics, then use the landed-cost module for full detail.

Landed cost estimates depend on route, duty, and tax assumptions. When applied to margin math, SkuXL uses the import add-on per unit so COGS is not counted twice. Review final import rules before commercial decisions.

Pricing targetsTarget price uses the stricter of margin and markup goals when both are available.

Use the price you are considering for the selected channel.

Margin is profit as a share of selling price.

Markup is profit relative to SKU unit cost before fixed channel fees.

Use MSRP as the retail anchor for wholesale comparison and buyer sheets.

A direct wholesale price overrides discount-derived wholesale pricing in the comparison.

Used when no direct wholesale price is entered, calculated from MSRP or the current price.

Amazon

Starter assumption: referral fee plus modest per-order fee and ad allowance. Review category-specific marketplace rules.
Channel feesPresets are editable planning assumptions. Review final marketplace rules before publishing.

Use the category or platform fee you want this scenario to test.

Ads and returnsModel ad load and return allowance as real pressure on margin, not afterthoughts.

Model ads as a real cost line before deciding whether the price works.

Use a planning buffer for refunds, replacements, and shrinkage.

Tax and wholesale logicUse tax mode for tax-inclusive prices and wholesale discount logic for buyer pricing checks.
HealthyAmazonThis tool helps estimate pricing, fees, and profitability. Review platform rules and final numbers before publishing or ordering.
Can this SKU sell profitably?The current price clears the main floor.

Profit is positive at the selected channel. Review the target-price gap and the weakest cost line before publishing or quoting.

How this is calculated

  • Percentage fees apply to selling price after the selected tax display mode is normalized.
  • Platform fixed fees, listing fees, payment fixed fees, and fixed ad costs are added as per-unit planning lines.
  • Ad cost can be modeled either as a percentage of selling price or as a fixed unit amount.
  • Returns allowance is modeled as a percentage buffer and should be treated as an estimate only.
  • Break-even price solves the price where net revenue covers unit cost, fixed fees, and percentage-based channel costs.
  • Target price uses the stricter available result from target margin and target markup, so the recommendation does not quietly ignore one goal.
  • Target markup applies profit to the SKU unit cost first, then recovers fixed channel fees and percentage-based costs.
  • Gross margin is shown after direct unit cost; contribution margin is shown after direct unit cost and percentage-based channel costs.
  • Net margin is shown after direct unit cost, percentage-based channel costs, and fixed per-order fees.
  • Landed cost is a planning add-on only; duty and tax assumptions should be reviewed before commercial import decisions.

Results that answer the pricing decision

The calculator promotes the unsafe floor, target price, fee pressure, and channel spread before the supporting details.

01

Unsafe price floor

Break-even and minimum profitable price stay visible while you edit costs, fees, ads, and landed-cost assumptions.

02

Channel spread

Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, wholesale, and custom assumptions are compared from the same SKU record.

03

Export-ready output

Pricing summaries, wholesale sheets, landed-cost reports, and normalized feed rows remain browser generated.

Questions sellers ask before trusting the math

Does this toolkit connect to Amazon, Etsy, or Shopify?

No. It stays frontend only and does not include live marketplace sync, order routing, or repricing automation.

Where is my SKU data stored?

Saved scenarios are stored in local browser storage only until you clear them or export the data yourself.

Can I use the same SKU for margin, wholesale, and landed-cost work?

Yes. The shared SKU scenario feeds the pricing calculator, wholesale outputs, landed-cost impact view, and the lightweight feed helper.
