Dropshipping Profit Calculator – Calculate Real Profit, Margin & Refund Impact | tolkit.me

The Dropshipping Profit Calculator on tolkit.me is a focused tool for dropshippers who want to know the real profit they make per order — after supplier cost, shipping from the supplier, platform fees, marketing costs and refunds.

You can enter your supplier cost, selling price, shipping, platform fees (Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce or custom %), ad spend per order and refund rate. The calculator then shows:

• Net Profit per order
• Gross Margin (%)
• Expected Refund Loss
• Real Profit After Refunds
• A clear Recommendation: Go / Maybe / Avoid

All logic runs in the browser — it is pure math, no backend or API needed.

Dropshipping looks simple from the outside: sell high, buy low. In reality, your margin is eaten by platform fees, payment fees, shipping from supplier to customer, advertising costs and refunds. A product that “sells a lot” can actually be losing money.

This calculator helps you:

• ✔️ Understand your true dropshipping cost per order
• ✔️ See net profit and gross margin per product
• ✔️ Factor in refund and return rate (%) to get realistic profits
• ✔️ Compare different platforms (Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce) quickly
• ✔️ Decide if a product is a “Go”, “Maybe” or “Avoid” before scaling ads

Instead of guessing, the Dropshipping Profit Calculator shows whether a product is worth your time, ad spend and cash flow.

The layout is modern, with tabs at the top for different platforms (Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce). Inside each tab, you’ll see: inputs on the left and a breakdown summary on the right.

• 1
  Select your platform tab:
  Choose Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, or a generic tab. Each can have a default platform fee percentage, which you can adjust if needed.
• 2
  Enter basic product numbers:
  • Supplier Cost – what you pay your supplier per unit • Selling Price – what the customer pays on your store • Shipping from Supplier – shipping cost charged by your supplier
• 3
  Add platform and marketing costs:
  • Platform Fees – marketplace or payment fees (as a %) • Marketing / Ad Spend per order – your average ad cost to get one sale
• 4
  Set your refund/return rate (%):
  Estimate what percentage of orders usually get refunded or returned. The tool uses this to calculate expected refund loss and your real profit after refunds.
• 5
  Review the breakdown panels:
  On the right, the calculator displays three clear sections:
  • Cost Breakdown – supplier, shipping, platform, ads
  • Revenue Breakdown – selling price, fees, net revenue
  • Net Profit Summary – net profit, gross margin %, refund loss, real profit and recommendation
• 6
  Tweak and test scenarios:
  Adjust selling price, ad spend or platform fees and watch the numbers update instantly — no page reloads and no backend calls, just in-browser calculations.

The Dropshipping Profit Calculator is built to be fast and transparent. All calculations run with JavaScript in your browser — no backend, no API and no data storage.

A typical calculation might look like this:

• Revenue per order = Selling Price
• Platform Fees = Selling Price × Platform Fee %
• Total Cost = Supplier Cost + Shipping from Supplier + Platform Fees + Marketing / Ad Spend
• Net Profit = Revenue − Total Cost
• Gross Margin (%) = (Net Profit ÷ Revenue) × 100
• Expected Refund Loss = Revenue × Refund/Return Rate (%)
• Real Profit After Refunds = Net Profit − Expected Refund Loss

Based on your Real Profit After Refunds and margin, the tool displays a simple recommendation:

• Go – Solid profit and margin: product is worth scaling
• Maybe – Decent but could be optimized (price, ads or fees)
• Avoid – Low or negative profit once refunds are included

This gives you an instant, realistic view of product viability before you spend heavily on traffic or creative testing.
