Editable XLSX file with an included Start Here tab. Use a compatible spreadsheet app and review formulas after opening.

What this file helps you do

Separate product cost and payment fees

Pack Margin Calc uses your cost, retail price, estimated units and processing rate to show per-unit and monthly results. Its monthly result is explicitly before rent and commission.

Inspect the assumptions behind value

HitRate Analysis has fields for common, uncommon and rare outcomes and their assumed values. These are user-supplied assumptions, not verified odds or current collectible valuations.

Compare the product with the machine

Use the per-unit result as one input to the Specialty Retail Toolkit. A product-level margin still needs to cover the location’s operating costs and any returns or losses.

From download to use

Your first pass through the file

  1. Enter your invoiced pack cost, intended vend price and payment-provider rate.
  2. Review unit margin separately from the optional assumed-value fields.
  3. Carry the product-cost information into the machine’s broader P&L.

Know what the file can tell you

The workbook does not verify pull rates, authenticity or resale value. Do not present assumed hit rates as buyer odds. Rent, commission and other machine costs need separate review.

Before you download

A closer look

Does it provide card prices or verified pull odds?

No. It contains editable assumptions and calculations. Product pricing, odds and values must come from evidence you independently verify; there is no market-data connection.
