Planning Calculators
Each ecommerce platform has different fee structures, audience dynamics, and economics. A profitable brand on Shopify can be unprofitable on Amazon FBA at the same prices because the all-in platform tax on FBA is 25-35% of revenue. The calculators in this category quantify the platform-specific math so operators can make accurate channel decisions.
These 16 tools cover the major platforms: Amazon (FBA fees, ACoS calculator, FBA vs FBM economics), TikTok Shop (commission and affiliate math), Etsy (listing + transaction fees), Shopify (subscription tiers, payment processing, checkout benchmarks), eBay (final value fees), Walmart Marketplace (referral fees), and platform-agnostic tools (platform fee % of revenue across all major channels).
The benchmarks: Shopify standalone all-in cost is 3.5-4% of revenue. Amazon FBA all-in is 25-35%. Etsy is 8-12%. TikTok Shop with affiliates is 12-18%. The 26-point spread between Shopify and FBA matters massively at scale — on $1M revenue that's $260K of contribution margin difference. The strategic question isn't which platform "wins" but which platform fits your specific economics, audience strategy, and operational capacity.
The strategic insight: most successful operators run multi-platform with each platform doing what it does best. Shopify for owned audience and brand. Amazon for discovery (especially for unknown brands). TikTok Shop for impulse and creator-driven launches. Etsy for handmade / vintage / personalization. Picking one platform exclusively means leaving meaningful revenue on the table.
