Which of your products or menu items actually makes the most money? This multi-product profit calculator compares several items at once so you can see profit per item, monthly profit, margins, and how much each product contributes to the bottom line.
How to use this calculator
- Add each product with name, selling price, cost per item, and monthly units sold.
- Enter your average payment or platform fee percentage.
- Enter monthly store costs and total monthly units sold across the business.
- Review per-product results and which item leads monthly profit or has the weakest margin.
Formula
Profit per item = Selling price − Product cost − Payment fee − Share of monthly store costs. Monthly profit = Profit per item × Monthly units sold. Store cost share = Monthly store costs ÷ Total monthly units sold.
Example
A café comparing a $14 bowl (180/mo), $8 salad (120/mo), and $4 drink (300/mo) with 2.9% fees and $1,800 shared monthly costs may find the bowl drives most monthly profit even though the drink sells more units at a thin margin.
Frequently asked questions
- How is store cost shared?
- Monthly rent, labor, and other store bills are divided evenly across total units sold so each product gets a fair share of overhead.
- How is this different from the menu item calculator?
- The restaurant menu calculator analyzes one item in depth. This tool compares multiple products side by side.
