How to read your results
Net Profit per Unit
This is the actual dollars left after all included fees and costs. Positive is good; negative means your current pricing model loses money.
Net Margin
Margin tells you how much of each sale you keep as profit. Many private label sellers aim for healthy margins to absorb ad volatility, seasonality, and occasional fee changes.
ROI
ROI compares profit to what you spend per unit. A higher ROI generally indicates better capital efficiency and faster growth potential.
Break-even and target price
Break-even price is the minimum price you must charge to avoid loss. Target price estimates what you need to charge to hit your desired net margin.
