Can I target a profit margin or ROI?
Yes. In reverse mode, choose payout, profit, profit margin (profit ÷ seller revenue) or ROI (profit ÷ your costs) and enter the target. The calculator finds the lowest price that reaches it under the selected fee rules. Margins at or above the platform’s maximum cannot be reached, and ROI needs a cost above zero.
