How is profit margin per product calculated?

The exact formula Escalafy uses for each product's margin: which costs it includes and how to read the number.

Profit margin per product tells you how much is left from each sale after subtracting all the costs proportional to that order.

The formula

Profit Margin = Profit ÷ Revenue

It's expressed as a percentage. If your product brings in $10,000 in revenue and the profit is $2,500, the margin is 25%.

What the costs include

The costs that go into the calculation already include each order's proportional costs:

  • Product cost (what you entered in the costs section).
  • Platform fee (Tiendanube, Shopify, Mercado Libre).
  • Proportional shipping cost.
  • Taxes (if you have them configured).
  • Mercado Libre Product Ads spend (since August 2026).

The margin you see in Product Analytics is the contribution margin: it doesn't include fixed costs or Meta/Google Ad Spend, which affect the business's total margin but can't be attributed to a specific product.

Where do I see it?

In Product Analytics, the "Margin" column shows this percentage for each product or variant over the period you choose.
