About this calculator
Profit in dropshipping isn't just the gap between supplier cost and selling price; hidden variables like ad spend, charge-backs, shipping zones and platform fees quickly erode margins. Our Dropshipping Profit Calculator forces every cost centre into the open. Enter your product cost, average CPC, conversion rate and fulfilment fees to see real per-order profit, breakeven ROAS, and monthly cash flow. Toggle VAT or customs duties on/off to compare markets. Ideal for new store owners vetting product ideas or seasoned operators squeezing extra percentage points.
Frequently Asked Questions
What costs should I include?
Include product cost, shipping, payment processing fees, platform fees (Shopify/WooCommerce), advertising spend, refunds/chargebacks, and any customs/VAT. Don't forget your time and customer service costs.
What's a good profit margin for dropshipping?
Aim for 15-20% net profit margin after all expenses. Higher margins (25%+) are possible in specialized niches, but 10-15% is more realistic for competitive products.
How do I calculate breakeven ROAS?
Breakeven ROAS = Revenue per order ÷ Customer acquisition cost. If your product generates $100 revenue and costs $25 to acquire the customer, your breakeven ROAS is 4:1.
Should I include my time as a cost?
Yes, especially when comparing dropshipping to traditional employment. Value your time at a reasonable hourly rate to see true profitability.
