Financial Precision

Built for Media Buyers, Founders & E-Com Operators

Generic percentage margin calculators miss the operational realities of modern direct-to-consumer and Cash-on-Delivery commerce. UnitProfitLab models every hidden cost layer accurately.

1. Contribution Margin Over Vanity ROAS

Two stores can both achieve a 3.0x ROAS on Meta Ads while one nets +18% profit and the other bleeds cash every day. Deducting VAT, refund allowances, and gateway surcharges reveals your true acquisition ceiling before increasing budgets.

2. COD Return-to-Origin (RTO) Stress Testing

For Cash-on-Delivery brands, courier refusal rates make or break cash flow. Our sensitivity matrix maps 20 combinations of confirmation and delivery rates simultaneously so you know your exact break-even threshold.
