Decision signals
What does the entered cost stack imply?
No cancelled/refunded units are entered. If refunds occur later, keep the adjustment traceable instead of treating original GMV as permanently retained revenue.
Break-even ROAS will appear after the entered scenario produces positive contribution before Ads.
Formula
GMV is the starting point, not the result.
The calculator uses this operating contribution model:
Contribution = valid revenue − platform deductions − Affiliate commission − COGS − fulfillment − seller shipping support − other variable costs − Ads
Platform deduction categories are user-entered effective rates. They are modeling inputs, not a published or universal Shopee fee schedule.
Evidence to reconcile
Replace scenario inputs with source evidence before making recurring business decisions.
Orders
Use order and item-level evidence for units, SKU, order state and the sales-period basis. Do not assume order totals are identical to settlement or payout totals.
Finance / transaction statement
Use the relevant Shopee finance evidence for recorded deductions, commission, refunds, adjustments and realized payout timing. Fee labels can change by program, market and period.
Voucher & campaign evidence
Separate seller-funded discount from platform-funded mechanics where the evidence allows it so the modeled revenue basis does not silently double-count support.
Shopee Ads data
Use paid-media spend for the same commercial scope and period. Keep platform attribution metrics separate from contribution/accounting truth.
Affiliate / creator evidence
Use the actual commission or creator-cost evidence relevant to the modeled SKU/order scope. Paid booking, samples or usage-rights costs may require separate cost lines.
SKU cost master
Use COGS by stable SKU and effective period. Historical reporting should not overwrite earlier unit economics with today's product cost.
Exception register
Keep missing cost, unmatched deduction, period mismatch and unclear funding ownership visible instead of silently converting unknown values to zero.
Claim boundaries
A calculator can expose unit economics without pretending it knows your settlement truth.
GMV ≠ profit
Topline selling activity cannot establish profitability before discounts, deductions, product cost, Ads and other variable costs are applied.
Modeled fee inputs ≠ Shopee's universal fee schedule
The calculator uses user-entered effective rates. It does not assert a fixed Shopee transaction, service or program fee for every seller and period.
Valid revenue ≠ payout
Sales-period economics and settlement-period cash can follow different timing and adjustment rules and should be reconciled rather than collapsed.
Higher ROAS ≠ higher contribution by itself
Two SKUs can show the same media ratio but have different COGS, discounts, fee stacks and creator costs.
Break-even ROAS ≠ recommended campaign target
Break-even is a mathematical boundary from the entered economics. Operating targets require risk, volatility, attribution and commercial context.
Missing cost ≠ zero cost
If a fee, cost or funding source is unknown, the real decision state is incomplete economics rather than a more profitable result.
Calculator output ≠ statutory accounting
This is an operating contribution model and does not replace tax, statutory accounting, audited financial reporting or marketplace reconciliation.
Modeled contribution ≠ realized business outcome
The result becomes realized evidence only when the relevant Orders, finance, Ads and cost sources support the same scope and definitions.

What does the Shopee Profit Calculator calculate?
It models GMV, valid units, seller-funded discounts, valid revenue, user-entered platform deductions, Affiliate commission, COGS, fulfillment costs, Ads, contribution margin, Ads ratio and break-even ROAS for one declared scenario.
Does the calculator use a fixed Shopee fee percentage?
No. All platform deduction percentages start at zero and are entered by the user. This avoids presenting one market, program or historical fee structure as a universal Shopee rate.
Why are Shopee platform costs split into several inputs?
Shopee finance evidence can contain different deduction families. The calculator separates effective transaction/payment, service/program and other platform deduction inputs so the operator can preserve the cost structure visible in their own evidence instead of forcing every cost into one unexplained percentage.
How are cancelled or refunded units handled?
The simplified model removes the entered cancelled/refunded units from the valid-unit revenue base. Later refunds and finance adjustments should still be reconciled to the original order under a declared reporting-period rule.
How are Shopee vouchers and campaign discounts handled?
The tool includes seller-funded voucher and seller-funded campaign-discount inputs per valid unit. Platform-funded support should not be entered as seller cost unless the relevant finance evidence shows that the seller actually funds it.
How is contribution calculated?
Contribution after Ads equals valid revenue minus the entered platform deductions, Affiliate commission, COGS, packaging/fulfillment, seller-funded shipping support, other variable selling costs and Shopee Ads spend.
How is break-even ROAS calculated?
If contribution before Ads is positive, break-even Ads ratio equals contribution before Ads divided by valid revenue, and break-even Revenue/Ads equals one divided by that ratio. If contribution before Ads is zero or negative, a meaningful positive break-even ROAS is not available.
Is break-even ROAS the ROAS target I should use in Shopee Ads?
Not automatically. It is an economics boundary from the entered scenario. An operating target may need additional headroom for refund risk, attribution differences, price changes, stock, campaign volatility and the seller's required contribution level.
What data should I use for a real Shopee P&L?
Use Orders for sales activity, finance/transaction evidence for deductions and payout, Shopee Ads for spend, voucher/campaign evidence for funding ownership, Affiliate evidence where relevant and a controlled SKU cost master for COGS. Preserve unresolved mappings as exceptions.
Can I use the calculator for every Shopee market?
The formula is input-driven, so it can model different scenarios, but the operator remains responsible for entering cost categories and definitions that match the specific market, program, currency and reporting period.
Does changing VND to USD convert the entered values?
No. The currency selector changes display formatting only. Enter every monetary input in one consistent currency; the calculator does not fetch or apply an FX rate.
Does this tool use AI or upload my inputs to an AI API?
No. The calculation is deterministic and runs in the browser component. The output still depends on the accuracy and scope of the values entered by the user.

Citation-ready methodology
How this tool produces its result — explicit enough to reproduce and audit.
This contract is the source of truth for the tool semantics: formulas/rules, inputs, outputs, limitations and a worked example. When calculation logic changes, the methodology version must move with the code.
Formulas / rules
- 01Valid revenue is derived from the entered selling basis after seller-funded voucher/campaign discounts.
- 02Platform deductions remain separate user-entered cost buckets instead of one universal Shopee fee.
- 03Contribution before Ads = valid revenue − non-Ads variable costs.
- 04Contribution after Ads = contribution before Ads − Shopee Ads spend.
- 05Break-even Revenue/Ads is derived only when contribution before Ads is positive.
Limitations / claim boundary
- The calculator intentionally does not hard-code a universal Shopee fee schedule.
- Entered rates should come from the seller's current program, category and settlement evidence.
- Contribution remains separate from accounting profit, tax and payout timing.
Input contract
- Selling price, units and seller-funded discounts
- Transaction/payment, service/program and other platform deductions
- Affiliate commission
- COGS and fulfillment/packaging costs
- Shopee Ads spend
Output contract
- GMV and valid revenue
- Modeled deduction waterfall
- Contribution before and after Ads
- Contribution margin
- Break-even Ads ratio and Revenue/Ads
Worked example
Input
Enter one SKU scenario with explicit seller discounts, platform deduction buckets, Affiliate rate, COGS and Ads.
Output
The calculator returns the modeled contribution waterfall and break-even paid-media boundary.
Interpretation
Use the result to test economics, then reconcile the inputs against actual Shopee finance evidence before operational decisions.
