How the math works
Profit per unit = product price - base cost - (product price × platform fee) - shipping. Profit margin = profit per unit / product price. Monthly profit = profit per unit × monthly sales. Annual = monthly × 12. This is a simplified model — actual profit depends on your niche, design quality, and marketing effort.
