Sandbox

 

Watch the video to see how the Sandbox can be used to check the potential profitability of a product.

Open

This area allows you to calculate profitability dynamically without reference to an existing or researched Product.

If you are not sure about the viability of a Product and just want to do a very quick calculation, then this is the place to start.

Just click on Sandbox from within the Profit Calculator.

Open

Input information in the left column.

Once you choose the stock location, the currency for the sales price will automatically change to the stock location currency.

However, the cost price defaults to USD but you are able to change this by using the drop down box.

The Units Per Outer and Duty Rate are automatically populated to default figures but can be amended and should be kept as accurate as possible, as this will affect your inward fulfilment cost per unit.

Please bear in mind the maximum Amazon limits for Units Per Outer/Master Carton. They advise that there should be no more than 150 units per Outer/Master Carton.

The duty rate will default to 5%, however please make sure you check the duty rate for your Product based on the commodity code. If a duty rate and tariff applies to your Product, enter in the total for both.

Click on Calculate and all the remaining fields will be populated showing the profitability. The Profit calculations take Amazon’s packaging and weights into consideration.
