Migrating Profit Settings from Other Monitors

While some monitors like Yaballe calculates profit on-top of source item price (AKA Cost+), some other monitors regard profit as % of the calculated eBay Item Price (target price). In this case their item price formula is something of this sort:

Where: 

• Target Profit % - Is the profit rate you intend to keep out of the eBay Item Price, on top of the Break Even rate. 

For users who migrate to Yaballe from such monitors and wonder how to translate their former profit settings to Yaballe, here is the migration formula to do so:

Where:

• Target Profit % - Is the profit rate you had with the other monitor 
• Default Break Even % - Is the breakeven rate you had with the other monitor, and going to use in Yaballe too 
• Desired Profit % - Is the profit rate you need to place in Yaballe, in order to get a similar eBay item price calculation as you got with the other monitor which used a different formula.

Example:

Source price (AMZ): $73

Other monitor

• Settings:
  • Break even % = 17%
  • Target profit % = 10%
    
    
• Item price formula: 
  
  
• Calculated eBay Item Price = 73 / (1-17% - 10%) = $100

Yaballe 

• Settings:
  • Break even %= 17%
  • Desired Profit % = 13.7%     
    >> Using the migration formula: (1-17%) / (1 - 17% - 10%)-1 = 13.7%
  • Desired Profit $ = 0
    
    
• Item Price formula:
  
• Calculated eBay Item Price = (73*(1+13.7%) + 0) / (1-17%) = $100
