What is the Dropshipping Profit Calculator?
A dropshipping profit calculator shows whether a product can survive paid advertising. Contribution before ads = price − supplier cost − supplier shipping − payment/platform fees − refund losses. Your break-even CPA is that contribution minus fixed costs per order — if your ads cost more per purchase, you lose money.
How to use the Dropshipping Profit Calculator
- Enter selling price, supplier cost and supplier shipping.
- Set fee %, refund rate and monthly app costs.
- Enter your current ad cost per purchase.
- Compare CPA with break-even CPA and ROAS.

Frequently asked questions
What margin do I need for dropshipping?
Aim for a selling price at least 3× landed cost so there is room for ad costs of 25–35% of revenue.
What is break-even ROAS?
Revenue ÷ contribution margin before ads. Your ad platform ROAS must beat it to make money.
