Outputs
Planning estimate only. Verify assumptions before making a financial decision.
$12,000 of total cost over 800 units is $15 per unit; a 40% target margin implies a $25 price.
How this calculation works
Total included cost is divided by unit count. Target price solves the gross-margin equation algebraically rather than treating margin as markup.
How to interpret the result
The result depends on which costs are included and expected saleable units. Include spoilage, freight, platform fees, and other variable costs where relevant.
Limitations
