How to use this tool

  1. Gather your price, portion costs and contract terms. Initial numbers are an editable example.
  2. Enter online payments, tax, merchant-funded promotions, monthly orders and fixed expenses.
  3. Review assumptions before deciding. Copy the complete calculator summary to record the analyzed scenario.

Price, markup and margin use different bases

Contribution per order = price − ingredients − packaging − tax − merchant-funded promotions − applicable delivery − other variable costs − commission − applicable online payment.

Estimated monthly operating result = contribution × orders − applicable subscription − entered fixed costs. Monthly margin = monthly result ÷ monthly revenue.

Example with declared inputs

An order of R$ 58.00, ingredients of R$ 16.00, packaging of R$ 2.40, own delivery of R$ 6.50, illustrative tax of 6%, 300 orders and R$ 1,500.00 fixed expenses.

In this example, contribution is R$ 20.80 per order and the monthly result is R$ 4,630.00, after a R$ 110.00 subscription. This is not a recommended margin.

The simulation repeats an average order over the month. It does not reconcile refunds, different basket values, platform-funded promotions or specific tax rules. Enter additional costs and check your contract.

Perguntas Frequentes (FAQ)

Does the target margin include fixed costs?

Yes. It is monthly operating results after variable costs, the applicable subscription and entered fixed costs, divided by revenue. At least one monthly order is required.

Why is adding the fee percentage to cost insufficient?

Commission applies to the selling price rather than cost. The price must cover percentage deductions and entered costs. The calculator checks the final price and identifies unreachable margins.
