Understand how to use the formula

Before you can understand the formula, learn the explanations of some related concepts.

Term	Explanation
Product Cost	Cost of the product you import from AliExpress
Shipping Cost	Cost of the shipping
Profit %	The profit percentage that you want.
Fixed Profit	A fixed amount added to the product price in addition to the Profit %.
Breakeven %	A fixed percentage of the product price to cover all the sale-related fees (e.g. Shopify or WooCommerce fees, Paypal fees, and taxation).
Minimum Profit	The minimum fixed amount of profit you want to make on a product.

There exist two situations where you may use different formulas:

Situation 1:

Generally, your formula is Price value = [(Product Cost + Shipping Cost) × (1+ Profit %) + Fixed Profit] / (1 - Breakeven %).

#	Product Cost	30.00 (USD)
1	Shipping Cost	5.00 (USD)
2	Profit %	100%
3	Fixed Profit	1 (USD)
4	Minimum Profit	10 (USD)
5	Breakeven %	30%

The calculation process will be: [($30.00 + $5.00) * (1 + 100%] + $1] / (1 - 30%) = $101.43. The Product price will be $101.43 in your store.

Situation 2:

If the Final Profit ((Product Cost + Shipping Cost) × Profit % + Fixed Profit) is lower than the Minimum Profit you set, the formula will be Price Value= [(Product Cost + Shipping Cost) + Minimum Profit] / (1 - Breakeven %).

For example, you can calculate the final price as follows:
