What did that sale actually pay, per hour?

Sale price minus fees is your profit. Profit divided by the time the sale actually took — sourcing, photos, listing, packing, messages — is your real wage. Most resellers only ever look at the first number. Free, no signup, nothing stored.

Doing this across dozens of sales a week?

This calculator does one sale at a time. The Reseller Profit Tracker spreadsheet ($14.99) logs fees, profit, and time per item across all five platforms, so your real average hourly wage is one glance, not a guess. Want the strategy too? The Reseller Profit Playbook ($29) covers break-even math and picking the right platform per item.

Why this number, not just margin

A sale with a 60% margin that ate 90 minutes of sourcing, photos, listing, packing and messages can pay less per hour than a 30%-margin sale that took 10 minutes. Margin measures the sale. This measures your time — the number that actually decides whether reselling is beating an hourly job, or quietly not.
