Live Show Profit Calculator

Enter one show's revenue and costs to see its show contribution and how each cost line affects it.

Upload Whatnot Export

The Whatnot order export for one show — or a Whatnot Weekly Orders Report, where you pick the livestream. Add more Whatnot files and they add up. Then add the costs the file does not contain.

Upload TikTok Shop Export

The TikTok Shop order export for one show — the file with Created Time, the LIVE channel and SKU Subtotal After Discount. No Whatnot rate is applied; you enter the fees TikTok charged you.

Your file never leaves this device.

The CSV is read only in your browser. We do not upload, store or see your file, your buyer names or your order IDs, and nothing from the file is sent to SaleTrail servers.

How This Is Calculated

Method

  • Show contribution = revenue − COGS − fees − giveaways − allocated labor − fulfillment − attributable refunds.
  • When a platform report is imported, its net effect on your balance is used as the starting point and the fees, seller-paid shipping and refunds already inside it are not deducted a second time.
  • Contribution per order shipped = show contribution ÷ number of orders shipped, counting orders rather than units.
  • A positive order count is required for that output. If the count is missing or zero, contribution per order is shown as unavailable rather than as zero.
  • A blank cost is reported as missing. It is never treated as zero, and any result with a missing cost is labelled incomplete.
  • No platform fee rates are assumed on your behalf — fees come from your own statement or your own imported report.

What It Excludes

  • General overhead such as rent, utilities, software and insurance.
  • Salaried time not attributable to a specific show.
  • Taxes of any kind.
  • Business net profit — this measures one show only.

How We Calculate It

  • Revenue is entered after discounts and cancellations but before refunds.
  • A unit is counted in either COGS or giveaways, never both.
  • Only labor you can tie to a single show is attributed to it.
  • Cancelled or fully refunded orders are excluded from the order count.
