How we calculate
Margin = revenue excl. VAT − bol commission − purchase cost − shipping and packaging costs − returns.
- Revenue comes from the order, after discounts, excluding cancelled items
- Commission is what bol charged per order line; if you're VAT-registered, the VAT on it isn't counted (you get it back)
- Costs you enter per product per item, or as a fixed amount per order line
- Returns are counted as soon as there is a credit invoice
