This planner compares assumptions you enter. Payment fees use the gross price and the entered percentage plus fixed fee per item. Costs use the amounts you supply; no extra tax adjustment is inferred for costs. Contribution is not actual profit: unentered rent, wages, super, leave, insurance and other overheads are omitted. It does not change an agreement, determine statutory entitlements or issue payment.
The working
Contribution = price excluding entered tax − commission − direct cost − payment fees − allocated other costs. Round each item to cents, then multiply by quantity.
For ten $110 items with entered 10% tax, $20 direct cost, $10 allocated cost, and fees of 1.5% plus $0.30 per item, 40% commission on the excluding-tax basis leaves $280.50 contribution. At 45%, contribution is $230.50, a $50.00 reduction.
- Entered assumptions only. Contribution after entered costs is not actual profit. Unentered rent, wages, super, leave, insurance and other overheads are omitted. Fees use the entered gross price; taxes are estimated at the entered rate. No saved agreement or close is changed.
- Each item is rounded separately before multiplying by quantity.
Use the calculation basis and rules you have agreed. A tool result is a working record; it does not establish an entitlement or send a payment.
