Dropshipping looks simple — find a product, run ads, and make sales.

✅ What This Calculator Does
When you enter your numbers, the calculator shows you:
1. Profit Per Order
How much money you actually keep after subtracting product cost + shipping + marketing.
2. Profit Margin (%)
This shows how “healthy” your pricing is.
Most successful dropshippers aim for 20–40% profit margin after ads.
🔍 How to Use It (Step-by-Step)
Just fill in four simple fields:
1. Selling Price (USD)
How much you plan to sell the product for on your store.
2. Product Cost (USD)
This is what your supplier charges you (AliExpress, CJdropshipping, Temu, etc).
3. Shipping Cost (USD)
Add any shipping fee your supplier charges.
(If shipping is free, set it to 0.)
4. Marketing Cost per Order (USD)
Estimate how much you spend to get ONE sale.
For beginners:
- TikTok Ads: $5–$15 per order
- Meta Ads: $8–$20 per order
If you’re unsure, start with $10 as a rough estimate.
