Net profit: Definition, Formula & Why It Matters
Also called: Real profit, Bottom line
Net profit is what you actually keep from a sale after every cost: Reverb fees, what the item cost you, and your shipping cost. It is the single most important number for a Reverb seller and the one most often confused with the payout.
Net profit formula
Example
A $504.47 payout on an item that cost $250 with $45 shipping nets $209.47.
Why it matters for Reverb sellers
Net profit is the only number that tells you whether a sale actually made you money. Tracking it per order reveals which gear is worth your time and which is quietly losing you money despite a healthy-looking payout.
