Pallet Profit Calculator

Estimate profit on a liquidation pallet before you buy — enter price, retail value, and an expected resale rate.

Breakeven resale rate: 27% of retail. Sell above that rate and the pallet is profitable; below it, you lose money.

How the profit calculator works

Profit = Estimated Resale − Purchase Price − Freight

Estimated resale is a percentage of the pallet's total retail value — the share you realistically expect to recover reselling individual items. This "resale rate" varies by condition and category: shelf-pull electronics might resell at 60-70% of retail, while mixed customer-returns pallets often land closer to 30-40%.

Worked example

A pallet costs $1,200 with a retail value of $5,000. At a 50% resale rate, you'd expect to recoup $2,500 in sales. Freight to your dock runs $150.

Profit = $2,500 − $1,200 − $150 = $1,150

That's a healthy return on a $1,350 total investment (price + freight) — but the resale rate assumption is doing all the work. This calculator shows conservative and optimistic scenarios (±15 points around your estimate) alongside your number, plus the breakeven resale rate — the minimum % of retail you need to recover just to avoid a loss. Treat that breakeven number as your floor when judging a deal, not your target.
