Why does my sticker look unprofitable at $2?

Marketplace minimum fees can eat most of a low-priced sale. The calculator applies the correct minimum from the fee profile and shows the true take-home.

How do I price a pack vs a single?

Treat each pack as its own product with its own batch cost. Packs usually spread fixed fees better than singles.

Should design time be in labour?

Yes, but divide it by the number of copies you realistically expect to sell over the sticker's life, not just the first batch.

A simple worked example

A run of 100 die-cut stickers

If a sheet yields 20 stickers at roughly 3 in materials, a 100-sticker run costs about 15 in materials plus an hour of design and cutting. At low retail prices the marketplace minimum fee often bites — the calculator shows when it does.
