Profit per discounted order

- $32.00

To match $137.50 of profit from 10 normal-price sales, this scenario needs 22 discounted sales. This calculates a target, not extra demand caused by the offer.
| Per order | Normal | Discounted |
|---|---|---|
| Item price | $40.00 | $32.00 |
| Order revenue | $40.00 | $32.00 |
| Included tax you remit | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Etsy fees and ads | $4.25 | $3.49 |
| Item costs | $12.00 | $12.00 |
| Target pay | $10.00 | $10.00 |
| Profit after pay | $13.75 | $6.51 |
The model recalculates price-dependent fees at the discounted price, including the Offsite Ads cap. Actual invoice rounding and tax treatment can differ.
A discount changes more than the price.
Materials and making time usually stay the same when you cut the price. Some Etsy fees fall with the sale price, while fixed fees stay fixed. That is why a 20% price cut can remove much more than 20% of your profit.
The US example starts with a $40 item, $12 of materials and half an hour of work at $20/hour. A 20% discount makes the item $32. The calculator applies the selected fee assumptions to each price and compares profit after your target pay.
Formula: discounted sales needed = normal profit per order × normal sales target ÷ discounted profit per order, rounded up. There is no useful positive-profit sales target if either scenario has no positive profit after pay.
This is an arithmetic comparison, not a forecast that a sale will attract more buyers. Use your actual costs and Etsy invoice settings. Apply discounts only to a genuine normal price; Etsy's pricing guide explains its approach to pricing and sales.
