You’ll need to know your group size as well your participant goal. Here’s how you can estimate your profit:

Calculation Steps

1. Participant Count x Participant Item Goal = Items Sold
2. Items Sold x Average Retail Price = Gross Sales
3. Gross Sales x Profit % = Group Profit

Example

1. Let’s say you have 60 participants and you set your participant item goal at 10. The items sold would be 60 participants x 10 Items / participant = 600.
2. Next, determine your gross sales. The average retail price is about $14 so your gross sales would be 600 Items x $14 = $8,400.
3. Since your profit is 40%, your group profit would be $8,400 x 40% = $3,360.

Keep in mind, our example is only an estimated profit. In reality, participants probably won’t sell the same number of items. In addition, the average retail dollars sold per seller will vary.
