Pricing items can be one of the most challenging parts of running an antique mall booth. Price too high and items may sit. Price too low and you leave money on the table.

The Booth Item Pricing Calculator helps you determine the minimum selling price needed to reach your desired profit after commission and credit card fees are deducted.

Simply enter your cost, desired profit, commission percentage, and credit card fee percentage. The calculator will estimate the minimum selling price needed to reach your goal and provide a recommended retail-friendly price.

Disclaimer: This calculator is a tool for estimation purposes only. Actual business results, margins, and vendor profits may vary based on individual contracts, local taxes, and specific store policies

How to use this Calculator

Enter the amount you paid for an item, the profit you would like to make, your antique mall’s commission percentage, and any estimated credit card fees.

The calculator will determine the minimum selling price needed to reach your desired profit after fees are deducted. It will also provide a recommended retail-friendly price that may be easier to use when pricing merchandise.

Remember that this calculator is a pricing guide, not a rule. Market demand, item rarity, condition, local competition, and customer expectations should always be considered before setting a final price.

Why Pricing Matters

Many vendors focus only on what they paid for an item when setting prices. However, commission, credit card fees, discounts, and markdowns can significantly reduce the amount of money you actually take home.

Understanding your true selling costs helps ensure that profitable-looking sales remain profitable after all deductions are made.

Using a consistent pricing strategy can also make it easier to evaluate your booth’s performance and identify which items generate the strongest returns.
