Step 1: Create Your Basic eCommerce Sheet

Open Excel and create columns like this:

• Product Name
• Selling Price
• Product Cost
• Shipping Cost
• Advertising Cost
• Platform Fees
• Total Cost
• Net Profit

This structure helps you see all charges clearly.

Step 2: Calculate Total Charges

In the Total Cost column, use a simple formula:

=Product Cost + Shipping Cost + Advertising Cost + Platform Fees
Excel will automatically calculate all expenses for each sale.

Step 3: Calculate Net Profit

In the Net Profit column, use:

=Selling Price – Total Cost
This shows how much money you really earn per product.

Step 4: Track Monthly Profit

Use Excel’s SUM function to calculate:

• Total sales
• Total expenses
• Monthly net profit

You can also use charts to visualize your business growth.

Benefits for eCommerce Sellers
