FROM REVENUE TO CONTRIBUTION

Every margin needs
the costs behind it.

We’re building product and marketplace comparisons with clear cost definitions, reporting periods and missing-input indicators. A strong sales figure should never hide an incomplete cost picture.

01 / PRODUCT PERFORMANCE

Find your contributors.

Compare net sales, contribution and margin across products and marketplaces, with the same definitions throughout.

02 / LANDED COSTS

Look beyond purchase price.

Add the relevant freight, duty and preparation costs to understand the cost of goods sold.

03 / CHANGE OVER TIME

Understand the movement.

Compare periods and investigate whether costs, fees, returns or advertising are changing your contribution.

EXPLORE THE ECONOMICS

A small change.
A different margin.

Adjust the example below. The calculation is immediate; all figures are illustrative and stay in your browser.

TRY A SIMPLE EXAMPLE

What does a sale leave you?

Per unit

Illustration assumes £8 in Amazon fees per unit. Net selling price is after discounts, refunds and sales tax. Other overheads are excluded.

Contribution per unit£14.0035.0% contribution margin

£40 − £14 − £8 − £4 = £14

A contribution example, not net profit or a forecast.

SAME BUSINESS, DIFFERENT MEASURES

Profit isn’t
your payout.

Net sales
Sales after the relevant refunds, discounts and sales tax adjustments.
Contribution
Net sales less included product costs, marketplace fees and advertising. Our examples exclude overheads and tax.
Bank payout
Cash transferred by Amazon after settlement deductions, adjustments and reserve movements.
Net profit
A broader result that requires all relevant operating costs and other accounting adjustments. We don’t label an incomplete contribution calculation as net profit.

COSTS WITH CONTEXT

A margin is only as useful
as the inputs behind it.

Reconcile Ready is being designed to show the source and completeness of your costs. Your supplier price and business expenses don’t all come from Amazon.

Planned reporting inputs
InputWhere it comes fromWhy it matters
Sales, refunds & feesAvailable Amazon reportsThe trading activity behind the result
Purchase costsCosts you enter or importWhat the goods themselves cost
Freight, duty & preparationYour relevant supplier and logistics chargesThe additional cost of getting goods ready to sell
AdvertisingAvailable cost data, with a separate connection or import where neededHow acquisition spending affects contribution
Overheads & other costsYour business recordsRequired for broader profit reporting; excluded from our contribution examples
Missing cost does not mean zero cost.

We intend to flag incomplete cost inputs so a product does not look more profitable simply because a bill or unit cost is missing. Allocation methods and supported imports will be specified before launch.

READING A CHANGE

What moved your margin?

Compare like-for-like periods and investigate the drivers before deciding what to change.

SALES & RETURNS

More volume, less contribution?

Higher revenue can come with more refunds or discounting. Compare net sales and the contribution left from those sales.

PRODUCT & LANDED COSTS

Did the next shipment cost more?

Supplier pricing, freight and duty affect unit economics. A cost change needs to be reflected in the relevant products and periods.

FEES & ADVERTISING

Are selling costs rising?

Look at marketplace charges and advertising alongside revenue. Avoid counting the same charge twice when it appears in more than one source.

LOOKING AHEAD

A foundation for your next decision.

Stock visibility, cash planning and forecasting are potential extensions. They would build on your costs and trading history, with assumptions shown separately from actual results.
