Other Cost %: Additional Costs as % of Net Revenue

Other variable costs as a percentage of net revenue—shows the margin impact of miscellaneous per-order fees.

Formula

Other Cost % = ( Other Cost ÷ Net Revenue ) × 100

Formula Components

Metric	Definition
Other Cost	Per-order, per-item, and percentage-based fees
Net Revenue	Revenue after discounts and refunds

Metadata
Type	Percentage
Data Source	Upstack Costs
Aggregation	Ratio

Example

Your store had $3,420 in other costs against $125,000 net revenue:

Metric	Value
Other Cost	$3,420
Net Revenue	$125,000
Other Cost %	2.7%

This means 2.7% of net revenue goes to miscellaneous variable fees.

How It Works

Divides Other Cost by Net Revenue and multiplies by 100. This percentage helps you understand how much of your margin is consumed by fees beyond the core costs (handling, gateway, shipping). Monitor this to ensure miscellaneous costs don’t creep up over time.
