Variant Margin: An Etsy DDP Variant Lab
A browser-based calculator for comparing Etsy variant profits, break-even prices, and target-margin prices under U.S. DDP shipping scenarios.
- For
- Etsy sellers pricing U.S.-bound international orders
- Worth noticing
- It tests each suggested price at the smallest configured price step and can compare two carrier quote scenarios.
Field notes
The calculator separates marketplace percentage fees, offsite-ad scenarios, fixed fees, product costs, duties, carrier shipping, and DDP charges instead of treating shipping as one undifferentiated number. Sellers can record quote dates, service levels, carrier names, and source notes, then resolve flagged assumptions before relying on a scenario. Its duty workflow is deliberately limited: the user supplies an estimate from a trusted source, while the tool does not select HS codes or determine duty rates.
