The ROI (Return On Investment) and profit calculations displayed for each listing in the Inventory screen are determined by the ROI Calculation Method.
In the Account screen, in Calculation Settings go to the Break Even Fees section to find the ROI Method selector.
There are 6 methods to choose from, each of which takes account of varying data to calculate ROI and profit.
Clicking on ROI Calculation Information will show the list of methods and how each one calculates the ROI.
Method 1 is the most rudimentary method as it focuses purely on the product cost and sell price. For businesses who choose to account for their costs all together after sales, rather than per item, this may be the simplest method to use.
Methods 2 -5 use the fees and costs associated with selling on Amazon to varying degrees to calculate ROI, including ones entered in the Break Even Fees page.
UK sellers usually find that Method 4 gives the most accurate results, as it accounts for the most fees and costs. US sellers largely choose Method 5 as it includes all relevant fees, but doesn’t include VAT as it isn’t applicable to them.
If any changes to the ROI Method selection are made, click Save Changes to apply them to all products in the Profit Protector Pro inventory.
