Does the deal add up?
Change the assumptions. See what remains after channel fees, delivery, and preparation. This is a planning model, not a dataset valuation.
38.3% of gross revenue · before excluded costs
Excludes taxes, financing, general overhead, refunds, churn, and costs you have not entered. Default amounts are invented examples. Negative contribution is possible.
What the calculator measures
Gross revenue equals customers multiplied by annual price. Channel fees are the selected percentage of that revenue. Recurring cost equals customers × monthly delivery cost × 12. First-year contribution subtracts both costs and the one-time preparation cost from gross revenue.
Break-even customers equals preparation cost divided by annual contribution per customer, rounded up to a whole customer. If an additional customer contributes nothing or loses money, the tool reports that there is no positive break-even path under those assumptions.
The example behind the defaults
Three customers at $12,000 each produce $36,000 in annual revenue. Subtract $5,400 in channel fees, $10,800 in recurring costs, and $6,000 in preparation to get $13,800. These inputs are illustrative; they do not represent typical data prices or fees.
