Net Profit

Overview

Net profit is the total revenue from product sales after deducting all costs, including advertising spend, cost of goods, shipping costs, payment gateway costs, handling fees, taxes, and any other operational expenses.

📘

Net Profit = Total Sales − Blended Ad Spend − Total Costs

The calculation is based on data in the Blended Stats table.

Detailed breakdown

The formula above is derived from the following components:

Total Sales = order_revenue - (refund_money - total_refunded_tax)
Blended Ad Spend = spend + custom_ad_spend
Total Costs = cogs - total_refunded_cogs + payment_gateway_costs + shipping_costs + custom_excl_ad_spend + handling_fees + taxes

Where:

order_revenue = SUM(order_revenue) --> Orders table
refund_money = ABS(SUM(total_refunded_price)) --> Refunds table
total_refunded_tax = ABS(SUM(total_refunded_tax)) --> Refunds table
spend = SUM(spend) --> Ads table
custom_ad_spend = SUM(IF(is_ad_spend, amount, 0)) --> Custom Spend table
cogs = SUM(cost_of_goods) --> Orders table
total_refunded_cogs = ABS(SUM(total_refunded_cogs)) --> Refunds table
payment_gateway_costs = SUM(payment_gateway_costs) --> Orders table
shipping_costs = SUM(shipping_costs) --> Orders table
custom_excl_ad_spend = SUM(IF(is_ad_spend = false, amount, 0)) --> Custom Spend table
handling_fees = SUM(handling_fees) --> Orders table
taxes = SUM(taxes) --> Orders table
