- The refusal percentage is user-entered, not a claimed national or marketplace average.
- The model assumes supplier wholesale cost is counted on delivered goods, not upfront cash-flow timing. Verify your actual settlement rules.
- Expected fractional orders are statistical averages; real deliveries are whole parcels.

Calculation
Use the result responsibly
1. Use collected orders as a separate measure
Track orders placed, delivered and refused with the same accounting period.
2. Charge ads to every placed order
Acquisition expense may be incurred for an order that never pays.
3. Include failed shipping
Enter the actual amount you pay when a COD parcel is returned or refused.
4. Validate supplier settlement
Taxes, payment holdbacks, payment disputes and fees vary. The arithmetic is a scenario, not a replacement for contracts.
FAQ
Is tax included?
No. Add legal and tax obligations separately.
