How this is calculated

Break-even commission = (price − referral fee − product cost − shipping − ad spend − expected return cost − target profit) ÷ price.
Expected return cost = return rate × (product cost + shipping + handling per return).
Market reality: most brands offer 10–25% creator commission. If your break-even is below 10%, raise price or cut costs first.
